Yes, I think we've pretty much decided that for 3.8, we will do bug  
tracking in Mantis, and still post [FIX]es and [ENH]ancements to the  
list and harvest them via BFAV.

I see that the "Reporting bug and fixes" page on the swiki has been  
updated to tell people to report bugs to mantis, although the exact  
process (and long term plans) could probably be further clarified.   
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/398

I think we know that having different systems for bugs vs fixes is not  
a permanent solution, but we can probably live with it for now while we  
figure out how the tools work.  I had posted some random thoughts here:  
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-September/ 
082175.html

Also, the "Harvesting Process" page needs updating by myself or Marcus  
or someone to mention the new "unstable" update stream.

p.s. I see on the banner of the swiki that Squeak 3.7 is now known as  
"The basecamp release"... :)
