Thunderbird/Papercuts: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:46, 13 July 2012

Papercuts are those issues which aren't complicated to fix but cause a fairly persistent annoyance in operation. To prove that Thunderbird's development is not going to die, several people have committed themselves to fixing five papercuts in a single year. This page is for tracking the status of these papercut fixes.
