2009-01-29 13:20:01 Eleanor Berger malone: statusexplanation ~d+b, this bug report isn't very helpful, in that it doesn't clearly list a single actionable item. Bug reports are especially useful when written in neutral, professional language describing a single problem with a clear acceptance criteria, so that it is obvious to the person dealing with the bug what is the problem, and how to determine when it is fixed. In addition, you might find it helpful to take a look at our list of agreed bug tags listed in https://dev.launchpad.net/LaunchpadBugTags -- please don't add tags to Launchpad bugs unless they appear on this list

2009-01-29 15:18:28 Eleanor Berger malone: statusexplanation oi -> my comments still hold no ? I did not mark the bug as invalid because of the tags (those are easy to remove) but because it's hard to see what exactly to do about it. Some of the suggestions you made are quite interesting, but it's a bit of mix. Ideally, each bug should describe a single problem which can be addressed and assessed separately, so I was hoping that this bug can remain in Invalid and that instead you'd analyze the problem and file several bugs with actionable items. For example, I can spot that you are listing problems with at least two very different components - the ubuntu bug filing helper and the launchpad side of things.
