Reporting Bugs/Request Tracker

[Stephan Albers <St...@jcatalog.com>]

Hi,

after getting back from some presentations and shows I had a hard time
getting into the current status of FOP and the things going on. One
thing that was missing to me: who does what? What are currently open
items? What are some new detected bugs..

Since bugzilla will probably never be available for Apache and the
bugtracker that Stefano pointed to (http://scarab.tigris.org/) doesn't
look to get finished soon, what about an alternative. We could open a
project at http://sourceforge.net just to use the bugtracker for FOP.

In conjunction with the proposed FAQ-Matic, this could also improve the
communication with FOP users and make some of the ongoing development
more transparent. If enough people think, that this makes sense, I would
open a sourceforge account, create some bug/request categories and enter
the first few bugs/requests.

+1 for Stephan's suggestions. I have heard nothing about anything new on 
Bugzilla.

I see that Apache itself (the HTTP server specifically) has bug reporting 
using a CGI built using GNU GNATS (GNU Problem Report Management System). So 
I figure we can look at this also. I just submitted a question about this 
and hope to get some feedback shortly.

FAQ-O-Matic, yeah, absolutely. I also have an ongoing question now about that.

I have just updated the status file, maybe this answers some of your 
questions.

+1 if this can't be handled by xml.apache.org. Arved, do you know 
anything about this?
