Howdy, folks. Steve asked me to join the project, and so I have! How's
everybody doing?
Anyhow, regarding issue trackers, user-friendliness and familiarity
really should be high on our list. In addition, I'd like to avoid
reinventing the wheel. We want to work on SXEmacs most, and let the bug
tracking take care of itself. In other words, I'm not sure we want all
our volunteers to spend their time writing and fixing the bug tracker --
we want them on SXEmacs itself, right?
I've had experience with a few different bug/issue tracking systems, and
though it pains me to say it, I've had the best experiences with
Bugzilla. Its UI is really damn ugly (and coming from an Emacs junky,
that's saying a lot), but it gets the job done and most community
bug-reporting types will already be familiar with it.
Those itching for an Emacs-based interaction with it can always fire up
w3m-emacs or write something on their own.
