IMHO, small changes in Radar's public interface could improve
acceptance of Radar a lot.
Add to these:
- ability to see the bug report that yours duplicates.
I don't think this one is ever going to happen, if only to ensure
that confidential information isn't made available (even
accidentally) to other developers. A lot of bug reports give some
insight into what a product does and a lot of developers want to keep
that stuff private.
or at least its title and status.
I think duplicates should be treated like an original when it comes
to notification of the resolution. If 100 people file the same bug,
it makes no sense to me to only notify the person who filed the first
report and only ask him to confirm that it's fixed.
In addition to the obvious reasons for notifying everyone who
reported a bug, what if some of those duplicates aren't really
duplicates? I filed a radar on an interface issue in an Apple
application one time and got a response back suggesting I should use
some Cocoa API to display an alert (I have no idea what they were
smoking that day). So clearly some reports are "misfiled." If a bug
is closed as a duplicate because someone at Apple didn't read it
correctly, it's just lost.
