Sounds like a great idea to me. Maybe something like Bugzilla...

I think that public bugzillas (or their equivalent) is limited to open
source projects, which WSDCi isn't.

I'm not clear what you mean here. AFAIK, Bugzilla usage has no relationship to the type of project that's it's used over. Certainly, it's excellent for logging open source issues; but it works perhaps as well for anything else that I've run across.

I'm just trying to be sure I understand what you are saying.

I can clearly see that I was a bit too brief there, sorry.

For what I have understood IBM uses their own internal tool for keeping track of issues, and it is only because Eclipse deliberatly was designed as an open source project independent of IBM that they chose to use a public bugzilla. This clearly has worked very well, and is one of the reasons that the basic eclipse product is being so well received amongst the developers. They add the features that people ask for.


I hope that the success of Eclipse will mean that this approach to user feed back will be adapted also for the closed source products like WSDCi
