Thanks for the list!
How do you want the bug reports to be stored? In file system,
a relational database? Personally I'm biased towards databases,
so long as they truly open source.
SQL Database would be my preference.
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.
So we are back to GNATS. :-) I'm translating this to: must have a
well-defined API for custom clients so that an XEmacs lisp client can be
written. ;-)
Given that email interaction seems a must as well, the current report
bugs mechanism should be re-usable. In fact, it should work with the
current version given the large installed base of clients.
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.
Writing something new always sounds good until you realize the amount of
work involved. I'm not up for this given that I already have a day job
hacking code and writing a bug tracker doesn't fit our business
plan.:-)
Kind regards,
Hans
