Nick,
you might just as well trust him to post these on the newsgroup and forward
them to QC. i don't see how this heightens the chances of bad/fictitious bug
reports. if people are gonna post bug reports that don't make sense to the
NG, they might just as well post those into QC, too...

volunteer their time. As someone else has pointed out, if you are so all-fired
consumed with this idea, you have the option of posting other folks bugs to QC
yourself.

Nick,
bugs reported by John Doe to the newsgroups to QC, adding a comment they
were reported "in the name of said John Doe", in contrast to telling John
Doe to go and add it to QC himself?
i can only see an upside: in many cases John Doe will be too lazy (or maybe
too inexperienced with QC) to go and actually report it, and the issue will
get "lost"; if someone else forwarded, it would not.

bugs. Maybe a specific Bug ng for each language Borland supports would used
by the customer base... Not sure...
I think the basic dynamic here is that Borland has produced resources that
the customer's are not using... How to change that?

this should be a *duty* rather than an occaisional "good deed".
easy for them to not bother learning how to do something? Furthermore the
idea of being "inexperienced" in using QC is silly, it is hardly rocket
science to figure out how to submit an entry there for someone that uses
development tools!
Every minute we spend trying to do such work is a minute not spent answering
questions in the technical groups - which is supposed to be our main purpose
and is what got each of us on TeamB in the first place. I for one cannot
afford any more minutes in a day on average than I already spend here.
I challenge you to put your time where your mouth is: You spend the next two
weeks volunteering some reasonable amount of your *personal* time scanning
these groups specifically looking for items that should be placed in QC -
without duplicating reports of course, and including enough information in
those reports to reproduce the bug (i.e. be sure you can reproduce it
yourself). If you find you enjoy doing it and are willing to continue doing
so - great! But if you are as busy as most people, it will result in you
having to carve time away from other things in order to do it.
