Initially, I planned to use such approach (generic layer + plugins) on my GSoC project. After some thinking, though, I´ve started to believe that the huge differentes between bugrackers would not allow to make a generic interface without losing too much of the specific functionalities available in each bug tracker... All of this, of course, IMHO. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
