Sure, but if you were to ask that question on the dev-ml rather than
here.. I'd bet you you'd get many more vote for lo#

true.

I'd always like to have more devs listening-in on what we talk about
on the QA list...
;-)

You should have cross-posted the vote announcement on all concerned lists, then you'd been more votes.

PS: btw I don't see the appeal to want to stick characters in there to
re-inforce the idea that it is a bugzilla number... the # in it is
sufficient enough to make that clear
so the b/bz stuff is not only a waste of space.. but also completely
redundant. it is like climbing up or descending down...

Fair, fair. One other thing:
The abbreviation has a secondary purpose: to be used as shorthand for
the bugtracker. Using our two highest-profile options:
"Joel, go take a look at regressions on FDO" => "Joel, go take a look
at regressions on LO"
"Joel, go take a look at regressions on FDO" => "Joel, go take a look
at regressions on LOBZ"


Well, if you want to mimic fdo, abbrev should be loo (libreoffice.org instead of freedesktop.org) loo is a good trade-off : more than 2, but less than 4; different of the standard lo we use to shortcut LibreOffice

BTW, I vote also for lo# if loo# has no access to the vote list ;)
