You lost me there -- how do we track individual bugs then? I'm sick and tired of having +100 mails and usenet articles that are constantly marked unread because I might have to look at them -- if nobody else does that. To be useful, a bug tracker must record all bugs -- trivial and non-trivial for the purpose of knowing who (if any) is looking into each of those bugs. And as a repository of things to look at when we have time. The interface to the system is less important -- but I don't really see how you can use a central tracker database if you are off-line most of the time. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
