Bugzilla as a backend would certainly be nice, but as a frontend it is obviously inappropriate. I don't know whether Bugzilla supports alternate frontends; if so, it could be worthwhile building one that fits our needs. IMO the most important advantage of OSB is its ease of use: there's no login required, you don't need to categorize your bug report etc. I think these features are important to keep in any new bug tracker we are going to use. > I've already put a installation of Bugzilla to my Server > (http://bugs.griesm.de) and I've done some testing around. > Bugzilla is coded in perl.
