Hi Ken

I think that the first things would be to change the send to the list 
feature
with a BIG warning telling" ARE YOU SHOULD THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE 
MANTIS"

With the experience we have on squeaksource (you may contact lukas and 
adrian)
they build squeaksource (version .9) in three four days, it would be 
worth to see if we can use seaside
and that we can script the applications to send bug report/upload code 
there directly.
But as this is your time I will use what you propose.

I think that what was really great with BFAV is that I could browse the 
code and load it from Squeak itself.
That was great compared with the first horrible interface we had for 
harvesting (which was already better
than a simple mailinglist)
