[haiku-web] Re: [haiku-admin] Re: Website

Honestly, I never intended for this to go where (or as far) as it has.
Bugzilla is not perfect. I certainly argued against it. But. 
It is what we have and there is no *compelling* reason to change from
it. It isn't dropping data on the floor or anything. Through skinning
and HTML changes, we can address whatever we need to change. We *have
the source*. If we all agree that field X needs to get renamed or go
away, we can do that. 

Could we do something better than Bugzilla? Sure. 
Should we? No. No way. A new site is FAR more important.

As far as task management, honestly, our tasks are big enough and our
coding time relatively small enough that we can manage them by hand. I
looked at what Trac does; it is a nice idea, but I don't think that we
really need it. What we really need is 
a) a new, nice looking site
b) bugzilla as simple as possible but no simpler
c) everyone happy and coding their hearts out. :-) 

Remember - it *is* all about the code. It has to be. Bugzilla is for the
devs, primarily. I know I keep saying that, but it really is true. A
ticket system that gets used by the fixers is worth 1000X more than a
ticket system that the *reporters* only use. 

Single sign in would be nice. We might be able to do that in bugzilla
(did I mention that we have the code? ;-D). If not, it really isn't the
end of the world. The number of people who can log into the website is
under a dozen. That won't change. Not worth the time to code the stuff,
honestly, since Mozilla will remember your passwords. :-)
