2000-01-10 Thread jennyw
Does anyone know of a Web-based system for tracking bugs and feature requests? For example, I know about Bugzilla, but I think it only tracks bugs and not feature requests. Thanks! Jen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

I believe bugzilla *does* track feature requests. http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ "What Is Bugzilla? Bugzilla is a database for bugs. It lets people report bugs and assigns these bugs to the appropriate developers. Developers can use bugzilla to keep a to-do list as well as to prioritize,
