I > think its interface is reasonable, please take a look. Yes, I've used it quite a bit. It suffers from the usual problems of web interfaces -- for filing lots of bugs, it was quite painful (often I would want to file like 10 bugs simultaneously, and I had fill in ever single damn field again and again... I really grew to hate the savannah bug tracker after a while). It's obvious that there are advantages to both, which is why I'd _really_ want a system that _does both_ (e.g., email and the web GUI are different interfaces to the same core system). And indeed, I know, no particularly great packages that satisfy that. It sucks, but there you have it. -Miles -- Run away! Run away!
