RE: [platform-ui-dev] Recombine Problems and Tasks Views

[Chris Laffra <Chris_Laffra@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My 2 cents,

For this kind of voting to be really successful, Eclipse should be equipped
with a 
special "Feedback" button.
When clicked, up pops a dialog with a few questions
and a feedback area. When you press
OK, feedback is sent to the Eclipse feedback
server. Results are collected automatically.
1 cent.

Bugs should be dealt with similarly
(having a special "Bug" button somewhere in the UI).
Another penny.
