Sounds good. If you have the time and interest, I'd love to see a Bugzilla installation that we can use as temporary bug tracker to see if it's what we need and stick with it if it is what we need :) > I would think that registration would be essential for a public facing > Bugzilla site, if somebody really wants to report a bug they will > register and will be advised of it's progress automatically.

My desire to make editing the wiki as easy as possible, so potential contributors would not be turned away by the fact that one has to register, check mail, activate account, login before they can contribute. > Whichever system we go for, I am more than happy to host it if my > webhost company supports it! (I am sure it does). Perhaps we should > register gPodder.org? Can you install a standard Bugzilla and give us the link for us to try out? About registering gpodder.org: I have not yet done that as I thought the gpodder.berlios.de address is okay and because the berlios subdomain is free, where the .org domain costs money.
