[Scummvm-devel] Crazy idea about convenient bug status tracking

[Alex Bevilacqua]

Here's something I whipped up in Ruby that scrapes SourceForge and generates
the list that Eugene posts in his emails from a couple arrays of bug ids.
This could be extended to output HTML if you'd like ;)

To run this, you need rubygems installed, and the hpricot gem.
