The Basho Dev Team does all that it can to ensure our users are kept up-to-date on critical bugs and issues that may occur. In addition to making Riak bugs public and searchable at issues.basho.com, there are two additional avenues to monitor critical issues:

• Riak Critical Issues Mailing List – A very low traffic list used to disseminate information about bugs or issues that might negatively impact a production Riak cluster or deal with data integrity.

• Critical Issues Atom Feed – This is generated by the Basho Bug Tracker and will deliver a link to any issue tagged at “critical” to your preferred Atom feed reader. (Keep in mind that the status “critical” is in the eye of the filer, and that community-logged bugs with a “critical” tag may be less severe than what Basho deems “critical”.)

We strive to be as transparent as possible with our community. If you have any ideas or comments on how Basho can do this better, don’t hesitate to email mark@basho.com.
