Hi Friedrich, hi all,

thanks for your reply and comments.
[...] If not, You are member of a big group of people *assuming* a bug to be
an "easy bug". I understand every software engineer to be not amused
beeing faced that assumption beeing estimated as a fact.
You are right, it is an assumption. Although I think that assumptions are more often correct than wrong, I fully agree to the mode that non-coders don't enter [EasyHack]s, but instead enter [ProposedEasyHack]s. Then it does not conflict with the idea of EasyHacks.

[...] As far as I got it, EasyHacks is a plain software engineer means where a
bug recognized as EasyHack by the expert isn't resolved in short time
but instead put to EasyHacks page waiting for a new Hacker resolving it
under the eyes of this particular expert and learning the code
meanwhile. [...]
Yes, that's what it seems to be the case now if you refer to the EasyHacks in bugzilla. In the beginning, some people loosely started to compile easy hacks in the LibreOffice wiki.

[...] Please understand: You can only propose an EasyHack if You are a
developer and could fix that bug *Yourself*. [...]
I don't understand this point. Do you agree or disagree that users who have the sound assumption that something might be an easy hack may enter a [ProposedEasyHack] and developers may change that tag to [EasyHack]. If you agree, that's fine. If you disagree, I would oppose. IMHO such a restriction would lead to a situation where many good ideas are missed and really easy hacks would be forgotten (please refer to my list of bugs in my previous email).

Cheers,
Gerald
