Usually nobody wants to spend hours of free-time for cleaning jobs and in way we have to trick us into it. Unless there's no urgent action required on other fields I'll go for swerc and the mail archive. Especially for the mail archive I'd rather not think much about the "web", because this is a file-management and grep task, id est a Unix tools task. It is an urban Holzweg to misuse HTML-browsers for that. No wonder that Google, too fails to retrieve our mail archive adequately. > Cluster iii) > > * Write a decent bug and issue tracking system > * Write a decent mailing list Web archive system > * Write a patchwork alternative? The idea of reading instead of replacing mailing lists looks more sensible than other ideas of bug and issue tracking. So called ticketing systems I'd avoid in general. All I've seen is more a business means to clock tasks some manager, secretary or client wants you to do. But it's unlikely a positive help to leverage ones programming skills. Regards Manu
