Where can you find code behind rt.cpan.org

Hi, continuing with blogging around http://rt.cpan.org.

Some people still think that rt.cpan.org is something hidden in Best Practical's cages where we hold it like a prisoner. It's not true for a long time.

Report spam button on rt.cpan.org

May be you don't know, but when people complain about http://rt.cpan.org service.I'm one of responsible for some stupidities. Heh. I'm not going to protect myself.

Fruck. All the cpan authors are responsible. The code behind the service is freeand you can send patches and extensions. Do you know number of those we recieved?ZERO.

That was a headup. Now, about reporting spam, I've writen a simple RT extension soregular users can help report messages as spam. It's in best practical's repository:

   http://svn.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi/bps/browse/RT-Extension-ReportSpam

I've installed it already, but it has several problems:

1. no icons for the button.

2. when you click on link, browser jumps to a page when it should be AJAX style.it works locally, but doesn't on the service. It needs debugging.

Help is welcome. You can write to ruz@bestpractical.com or find ruz/ruz_macon IRC channels.

The way to search those spam tickets is described in the README.
