Ouch, JitterBug looks painful :( I'm willing to install either, but I think that GNATs, from what I'm used to of it, is the better one, since it allows for email based bug reports... > > > Vince. > > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: Bruce Momjian [SMTP:maillist@candle.pha.pa.us] > >> Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 1999 1:31 PM > >> To: Fred Wilson Horch > >> Cc: pgsql-hackers@hub.org > >> Subject: Re: [HACKERS] User requests now that 6.5 is out > >> > >> > Folks, > >> > > >> > Not sure if this is the right place to request this, but here are some > >> > things I, as a satisfied user of PostgreSQL, would like to see done (and > >> > I'd be glad to help where I can).

I'm using WWWGNATS which is very dated but was the best Open Source option 5 years or so ago. I looked at moving from GNATS to W3PDB but haven't had the time. Looked promising though. There's also bugzilla. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ MikE
