marketing tickets private?

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi,

I tried to view a link to a marketing team ticket and was given an error 
message that marketing team tickets are private and require login / 
privileges to view.

Why is this? A lot of the other Fedora trac tickets I use (eg 
design-team, badges) are public to read.

You wouldn't want marketing to reach everybody, would you?

Oh, wait...

Um, seriously - no idea. They should be public. I don't think there's
many instances where we need a private ticket for marketing.

Best,

I think when it comes to trac, a variant of Hanlon's razor applies:
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by
trac's insane maze of configuration.

("Trac: the issue tracking system with more configuration options than
features!")

I will look into this, not sure what changed as this is the first complaint in a long time about the trac.

Try again now -- I believe I've fixed this.  (I just happened to run
across this email, and have the permissions to do so.)
