Hi Sinisa and Colin, Sinisa the PR database (Problem/Resolution Database) for freebsd is a more formal version of http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/u/Bugs.html .
In FreeBSD eash problem is assigned a number in a database tracking who submitted the bug, the date, the priority, and details about the bug (IE a data damaging bug would get high priority). Also when the problem is resolved you can see who resolved it and when, and what the resolution was. The FreeBSD database is called GNATS but most people just call it PR. See http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#gnats Of course FreeBSD is a very large project! I am not suggesting that this needs to be done. But as the MySQL project grows it might be good to be aware of alternatives to the web page. Where people can submit bugs directly to a tracking database. Then one can always go back and see the status. I hope this helps.
