[Note: I'm talking about a bug tracker now.] Would it be okay to have a system where the bug "database" (which might be some sort of structured text file) is stored in the CVS tree, and the interface to the database is via Emacs itself? (This wouldn't include email access... But on the other hand many of us read email in Emacs anyway, so manually integrating information from email into that database wouldn't be so hard.) Would such a system meet your constraints? -Karl
