Remember I said earlier today that the "Bug#" style of linking to
bugzilla.osafoundation.org bugs would still work? Well, I lied. From
now on, you need to use the "Bug:" notation if you want automagic
linking to happen.
It turns out that the plug-in to recognize links like "Bug#1001"
interacted poorly with the RSS feed generator. (I assume we hadn't
noticed before because we only recently started doing a lot with RSS and
the wiki.) Juergen thus will be turning off the plug-in that recognized
e.g. "Bug#1001" as a link to
"http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001".
I have run around the Chandler WikiWeb and changed all the Bug#s to
Bug:s; I do not plan to change any of the pages in the Journal or
Jungle. There won't be any _problem_ with the old Bug#s, they just
won't appear as links.
