10/11   Shopping for bug tracking solutions.  Recommendations?
        Some of them add to SourceForge.  I don't have SourceForge.
        Would installing SourceForge for these be worth it?
                http://phpbt.bencurtis.com/index.php
        There's also this one:
                <DEAD>mantisbt.sourceforge.net<DEAD>
        And of course there's Bugzilla
                http://www.trilobyte.net/barnsons/html
                                        -brain
        \_ SourceForge can't be "installed"... It's a months-long project.
           Not worth it just for the bug tracking system. -mogul
        \_ ClearDDTS
        \_ I think bugzilla is kludgy (ugh, perl) and Sourceforge's look
           and feel are a bit dull. GNATS is good yet obtuse; Jitterbug
           is where it's at for my money. This is all open source -- commercial
           tools are aplenty (and good too)
           \_ Why does the language bugzilla is coded in make it kludgy?  If
              it was written in _your pet lanuage here_ but functioned exactly
              the same would you say it was great?
                        you're going to adopt an OSS tool in your org. Try
                        that + maintenance (which script was that again?) and
                        you'll see what I mean..
                \_ Because of customization which is eventually required if
                   you're going to adopt an OSS tool in your org. Try that +
                   maintenance (which script was that again?) and you'll see
                   what I mean..
                   [ reformatted ]
                   \_ And closed source tools don't require customization?
                      Oh yeah... you can't customize closed source.  Ya see,
                      bugzilla and similar open tools *allow* you to change
                      the code but don't *require* it as opposed to closed
                      source which doesn't have the option.  So, what I get
                      from your message is that closed source is better because
                      it can't be customized.
        \_ There's also TeamTrack by TeamShare, Inc. (http://www.teamshare.com
           I only used a small number of features in it so I don't know how
           good it is compared to the others.  --- yuen
           \_ GNATS sucks.  Use TeamShare.
              \_ We switched from gnats to bugzilla. It's great for what
                 it is - quick and dirty. It's not terribly secure,
                 though. Still, we like it. Who cares if it is perl? --dim
                \_ i stuck it under apache access control and https,
                   how much more secure do you want to be?
                   \_ I didn't say it cannot be secured, but out of the box
                      it is not close to secure. You have to do a lot more
                      than restrict access to secure it (and mySQL) because
                      a person with access can do damage, nevermind how they
                      got the access. Access control is just a start. --dim
                        \_ was there a bugzilla/perforce integration module
                           somewhere on the net?

4/6     My company is evaluating version control systems. Our two candidates
        are Perforce and Subversion. Anyone worked with both and have good
        arguments one way or the other? (These are the only two options we
        have.) We're most interested in client performance, ease of use, and
        reasonable branching.

11/7    A lot of XML documents contain things like:

12/7    Sure, call me crazy, but is there a way to run Perl on a PDA?
        I stfw, and all I found was a 2001 article on http://Perl.com saying
        that it's impossible, but in tech terms, this is like finding a
        1930s article saying it's impossible to send a man to the moon.
        \_ uh... which PDA?  I don't see why not, and probably the only
           issue is limited memory.
