i suggest that the xbmc team installs and starts using bugzilla for bugs, features, management, control and quality assurance. the tool is quite easy to set up on a linux box. and i see that this forum runs perl, same on bugzilla, and i guess that the forum has a mysql db. i know that you are today using forums, sf, textfiles. my suggestion is to keep all bug-reports/feature suggestions in bugzilla and keep the forum, for support, development and all other tasks, exept for bug-reports/feature suggestions.

i could assist in the setup.

in that way all people could search for bugs, report bugs in an orderd fasion. it would be very easy to add releases (that need to be coordinated better on this project), dependancys between bugs.

what about sourceforge?

no offence but keeping all things on sourceforge is a pain in the ass

why?

- its down very often
- its not developer/user friendly
- webbased apps are sloooowww

the bug tracking and freature request stuff on sourceforget seems particularly cumbersome, even for them.

[Niclas]

i totally agree with frodo on the sf issues. i do not know if the core team would be intrested in a bugzilla soulution? but imho, bugzilla greatly helps in coordinating and manage bugs - feature requests.

if the core team decides to go with a bugzilla solution i could assist with my knowledge, and time.

i think this sounds interesting.

i might add that bugzilla is not necessarily overkill, although it is a big step from sourceforge.

another simpler (perhaps) alternative, is to use an internal forum similar to the xbmc forum.
