Hey Ned,

Looks like you have been spending time thinking about Mantis.  In the
very near future the Janitors project will be spawning a small sub-team
to discuss what improvements can be made to Mantis in the short term to
make it easier and clearer to use, particularly to newcomers.  Would you
be interested in participating in that group?  Perhaps even chairing it?
If so please subscribe to the janitors mailing list
( http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?8 ) and express
your interest.

Ken
