Peter has a point, here. Besides, what's the difference between tracking 20 e-mails on one list and 5 e-mails on a second list; vs 25 e-mails on a common list? Perhaps I'm showing my lack of sophisticaed e-mail prowess :-) > and damn close that bugtracking system.

However, from a TG commercial perspective, I will need to closely track all bugs specifically related for certain DRI projects. I can track those on a private internal database, or I can do it on an open DRI database. Either will work for me. However, I do think tracking on an open DRI database would be better for the DRI project; and I would prefer to use the slow SF bug database then take on the much larger task of setting up a new system. -- /\ Jens Owen / \/\ _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ \ \ Steamboat Springs, Colorado _______________________________________________________________ Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
