[squeak-dev] The Inbox: Tools-ct.881.mcz

I am in the same position of Christoph,

I found some little bugs here and there. I see that that dev mailing 
list just in a few hours produced a lot of traffic. I doubt I can keep 
it under control.

If Mantis is not used anymore I will post here but I will loose trace of 
them.

extra note. I used Bugzilla (Mantis equivalent I guess) to report bugs 
in for different parts of FreeBSD software and/or documentation. It 
works well. It enables the user (non dev) to give his contribution into 
spotting bugs. It warns the bugs is there for other users to be aware 
of, till it gets solved.

bye
Nicola
