Ideologically I agree, however we do need something hosted (mantis is a major pain to keep up to date manually and is in php so has security issues), and practically speaking MANTIS works but it is probably not the most helpful in terms of getting useful work done. We could get free hosting for Trac, but it may be tricky to import bugs as Trac doesn't have support for dependancies between bugs - presumably a conversion script would just put them into the HTML/wiki markup for the bug... > > Best wishes, > Arne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
