We use BugZilla internally too, and I would describe it as 'rudimentary, but adequate'. OTOH, we have not spent much time configuring it, so there may be some unlocked potential. One nice feature (for boost) is that you can assign 'owners' to projects and sub-projects. When a bug is reported against a project it is automatically assigned to this person, -> and they get an email notifying them <- Of course this feature could rapidly become rather annoying for anyone who cannot maintain a long-term, active boost commitment. It may be that certain library writers would want to delegate bug-support to others in the community? One problem I have with BugZ is that the default layouts are not very easy to manage when you have a large number of projects (eg: one project per boost lib will already be large) Simple navigation is annoying. Of course, this can 'easily' be fixed by writing our own web pages as a front-end, to manage and direct some of the complexity, grouping projects into more manageable chunks etc. -- AlisdairM _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
