What I meant was an example when "fixing a bug" involved a few
discussions and finally resulted in adding new functonality.  Still,
this particular example is way too small for a thesis IMHO, but you get
the idea.

And I didn't really notice people with huge egos over there.  The thread
is probably rather boring for non-involved people, though.

Best,
