A proper bug tracking system is something that XEmacs definitely
needs. Maybe we should look into something like Bugzilla, I know
people have suggested it before (Robin?). Personally, I'd prefer
something with an XEmacs front-end, but if someone can come up with
some lisp to make XEmacs talk to Bugzilla, that'd be cool.
Thanks very much for the suggestion, Frank. I'll definitely keep you
in mind for the job of "bug-tracker".
