About Conseil Bug Triager

Conseil is a bug triager for the GNOME Desktop. Its purpose is to allow you to browse and modify bugs on differents BTS with only one interface. Currently, only Launchpad BTS is supported and the only modification implemented is posting a comment. Nevertheless, Conseil is already useful because you can easily open a given bug in your web browser if you want to make some other modifications on that bug.

Features that are expected in a short future in Conseil are multi BTS support, modifications of a bug and AdvancedSearch.

Why it is called Conseil ?

In the eighty-ninth genus of fishes, classed by Lacepede, belonging to the second lower class of bony, characterised by opercules and ronchial membranes, I remarked the scorpaena, the head of which is furnished with spikes, and which has but one dorsal fin; these reatures are covered, or not, with little shells, according to the sub-class to which they belong. The second sub-class gives us specimens of didactyles fourteen or fifteen inches in length, with yellow rays, and heads of a most fantastic appearance. As to the first sub-class, it gives several specimens of that singular looking fish appropriately called a 'seafrog,' with large head, sometimes pierced with holes, sometimes swollen with protuberances, bristling with spikes, and covered with tubercles; it has irregular and hideous horns; its body and tail are covered with callosities; its sting makes a dangerous wound; it is both repugnant and horrible to look at.
