I've never used it, but it's been around a long time, allows for interaction completely through email (which is how we do things now), has a web front end for anyone who wants to use it to use, and as i understand it has a tcl based desktop app for folks to use as well. seems it's being dismissed prematurely imho. > A few other thoughts: > . the Samba team have apparently abandoned their own tool and moved to > bugzilla > . if we used bugzilla this might give some impetus to the bugzilla > team's efforts to provide pg as a backend (maybe we could help with that) > . it would seem slightly strange to me for an RDBMS project to use a bug > tracking system that was not RDBMS-backed we serve far more static pages on the website than we do database driven ones... the software we distribute is housed on fileservers and sent via ftp, we dont expect people to store and retrieve it from a database... our mailing lists software actually uses another db product in fact... let's just get the right tool for the job... > . developers are far more likely to be familiar with bugzilla developers are far more likely to be familiar with windows and mysql as well... > . are there any active developers without web access?
