Hmmm, in what way is RoundUp decentralized? Models for decentralized bug trackers include SD and Fossil. Being able to make a backup copy is good, but decentralizing means you don't rely on a client/server architecture at all. That being said, the first Savane objective is to get a maintainable code base, by reimplementing the currently (centralized) Savane. The second Savane objective is decentralizing that new code base. We believe that doing the changes in those 2 steps makes it easier (or even possible) to migrate existing Savane installations, such as Savannah and Gna!. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Savane-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/savane-dev
