Planet Geek!: Dear Jboss. QA yer damned site.

[penk]

Why is it so hard for any organization, from opensource on up, to understand it's a good idea to give the users information they want, in a form that's useable?

I zipped over to JBoss.org to see if there was an update to the 4.2 server I've been using for the last year. Sure enough, there's a 4.2.2 release that came out in October. Great, I wonder what changed?

Well, the downloads page has the new release on it, and a link to the release notes. Which, you'll note, is completely illegible because the lines are not wrapping. (I tested this in Firefox under Linux and Windows, Konqueror, and under IE6 in Windows. None of them make that page useable.)

Was it so hard for the JBoss release engineer to click on links and check if they worked? Apparently that capacity is beyond them. Sad.
