[Biopython-dev] evaluate Bugzilla database

Hello everybody,

I've been unhappy with Jitterbug for a while.  It doesn't really have
a good authentication model, and thus doesn't really track all the
information that I want to have.  I'm thinking of moving things over
to Bugzilla.  I've put a version of it up for evaluation.  To test it,
I want to use it to help coordinate the next release of Biopython.  If
we like it, then we'll keep it.  Otherwise, back to Jitterbug.

Please take a look at it:
http://cvs.bioperl.org/bugzilla/

All core developers should create an account and start using it.  I
haven't changed the default UI, so ignore references to Mozilla, etc.
The UI is pretty configurable, so we are able to change the text,
buttons, forms, etc.

I've created a bug (Bug #5) to help track our experiences with
Bugzilla:
http://cvs.bioperl.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5

This link is not permanent, so please don't create any references to
it in documentation, etc.

Jeff
