There is a lot of similarity between these tools and Dave's original

I'm inclined to say that any sort of tracking software could be used
for this - it's mostly an issue of creating sticking with policy

Hi David --
We've recently started using Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/) amd have
integrated this with dotProject (http://www.dotproject.net/). The nice
thing about this is that you can use it to open up a new ticket and then
promote it eventually to be its own new project.
Mantis is pret
To follow-up Pascal's note. I look at the combination of dotproject and Mantis
as the ability to cover wider spectrum of work in one interface. We were
looking to have a user dashboard that covers most of their tasks. We were able
to get this by integrating dotproject and mantis. Now we logi
It suppose it is important to note the distinction between bug and
feature tracking (software dev) and change management tracking
(incident, problem, change) for production systems. I think of those as
pretty different activities.
Bug and feature tracking is closely tied to development work.
Is this to do with crowdsourcing funding for projects.
David.

Hey Declan,
Does that process only apply to applications you develop yourselves? How about
the Innovative system, or open source applications developed elsewhere?

Hi - it's primarily designed for things we develop.

We do not have a formal change management process yet. It is certainly on

Well, no, not really. If I understand the question, I don't think so. It has
more to do with the validation of some ideas some of friends mine and
I'm guessing that you are, but I'm wondering if you plan on compiling
some of the comments and votes and writing more about them. I'd hate
to see some of these comments go the way of a survey.

We have chosen to use FogBugz. A great product. Very easy to use.
Integrates well with version control systems, can also be used as agile
