Hello, I agree that tracking the status of a bugs inside a wiki/webpage would be a nice feature.
Are you available to discuss about it tomorrow afternoon? Topic would be: * Do we want to implement it? * Is it better to implement it in the wiki, so it's rendered on the serverside as html by moinmoin ; or do we want to render it on client side using a javascript? Can we meet at 4pm?
