We're not using tickets, the wiki online appears to work but i have no idea how to back it up. At present its bad enough managing documentation (the current mechanism requires renumbering and stuff). It's not worth managing infrastructure for 1 or 2 developers. Furthermore web based resources (ticketing systems etc) are very bad for me due to slow internet. That's why I read mail using a proper mail reader, not a web browser. It's why I use mail a lot. My interaction is on my own comp, the mail I/O is buffered in the background. Same with repository push/pull/commits. > > It would be cool is some academics would put some students onto > some of these tasks. > > Academics tend to read the literature that interests them; getting some > published papers of your own out the door, based on your Felix work, would > raise awareness in that community.
