And while my mind is still on this: In fact, checking for updates to the bug
pages for the links present in "View My Bugs" can be coded directly into the
"View My Bugs" (rather than at application start as I previously suggested
above), so any time the user wants to check for updates the user simply opens
the "View My Bugs" menu and visually checks whether there is an update tag/icon
next to any present bug link. This should make coding it easier as it will be
directly related to that particular menu (as opposed to application start).

Since the Document Foundation is not even remotely interested in further
developing this functionality, I will not look for external help for you to
have it developed and I will not spend any of my own time. My time is precious
and to spend it so that it is cut short with a WONTFIX is a total waste.

Please remember one thing - innovation is a process of gradual refinement and
development of ideas, not of flipping the WONTFIX switch.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
