I admit, I tend to instinctively dismiss anything from canonical, and indeed launchpad in particular (because of its proprietary past, and the vague "all-consuming-bloat-master" feel one gets from using it on the web). Perhaps it's better than I assumed. > We could use Bugzilla and still come out ahead. I vaguely thought we were talking about bugzilla at some point, I dunno what happened to that. From that discussion, I seem to recall that it's gained some email control/discussion features (the lack of which has been a blocker for bugzilla traditionally), and seems to have slowly been losing some of its "confusing mess" reputation. [I think allowing email _replies_ in bug comments is pretty important -- there's absolutely nothing more annoying than getting email "notification" of a discussion on a bug, and not being able to reply in email... web interfaces are generally pretty good for clicking buttons or searching, but not for having discussions.] -Miles -- Bride, n.
