1. Dev Forum

I think that it has been brought up before, but is there any reason not to move the dev forum here from Sourceforge?
I don't mean polluting the user forum with developer's messages, but rather open a second forum tab for developer information and ongoing discussion on various tickets.
I've found a logic bug in compile.e and I want to ask about it. I don't want to rejoin the dev forum at SF even though my interest in helping fix bugs and documentation has returned. I'd like to have all relevant information in one place, with a common search and a common interface.
Unless the devs are relying upon the "mailing list" aspect of SF? If so, is there any way to implement that functionality here?

We do indeed use a SF.net mailing list, but no forums. The mailing list archives are on-line, though not terribly easy to search or read. Most discussion happens on the mailing list, the forum here, or on IRC.
Now that we have a good platform, a separate forum based on the same technology might not be a terrible idea.
Please enter a ticket for your bug. We can continue to discuss it here, even (ticket comments aren't great places for conversations).

Okay, I'll do that. I was going to but decided to start here first.
Related question, then - how are tickets sorted when you go to the tickets page? Chronologically? Most activity? Randomly?
Of course I've taken to going to "most recent" for my needs.

It always seems pretty randomly to me, though I know there's some logic in there. I think the first sort criterion is severity, which doesn't jump out at you on the page. Not sure how it goes after that.

I depend on the mailing list aspect as I never use the SF web interface.

- Severity... Blocking tickets are shown before Textual tickets
- Milestone... 4.0.1 tickets of the same severity are shown before something slated for 5.0
- Status... New tickets are shown before Accepted tickets
