Hi ken

I found myfself recently regretting the old BFAV time, because I got 
trapped within the
bad interface of mantis losing a lot of time there. So I stopped using 
it because I could not.
I did not say anything because I did not want to put the mess.
Now I have a question: is there someone working on producing something 
better than
mantis/ or patching mantis because what I see is that it slows us down 
a lot.
