In file system, a relational database? Personally I'm biased towards databases, so long as they truly open source. You must have an XEmacs lisp client. You must be able to submit bug reports with this client. And personally, I could care less about any other kind of client, I wouldn't use it. Submitting bug reports must be dead simple. No registering, no logins required, etc. Bug report submission must strip out coredumps from bug reports. This used to be a huge problem, I don't know how it is today. by formal distribution. We received literally thousands of bug reports most of them dups from the horrible, horrible Sun CD of XEmacs 20.0 beta. We continued to receive them years later when most or all of those bugs were already fixed. There should be good email support. I'm not sure how I would describe that. Add to that as you will. If there's an open source tool that does the job, use it. And considering what Linus did with git in a short time, I too wouldn't rule out starting over from scratch, just so long as you know where you want to go. -sb _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
