We started to have a look at Q2. Florent is jumping on it and will  
bombard you with

I was wondering if this would not make sense to magrittified your  
domain objects.

You told me that you implemented something like Mewa but I guess that  
this is only for the UI


Was is the Q2Win32InstallerBuilder?
Can we run it on mac?

Indeed what we would like to have is
	- a process to manage bugs and todo for the projects (squeak, tweak,  
harvesting....)
	- first I would just focus on the process and the UI
	and link back to mantis items.
I think that we will start looking at that. Do you have some places  
to start reading to undereyand
how we can define a new workflow.

I was wondering if this would make sense to use magritte and enhance  
magritte with your functionality
