Yay! Thanks a lot for providing the playground :)

Sounds cool. I'll ask Adam and Ean about it.

Yes. I've played some more with it. It's cute, though it does not seem
to be very powerful yet. Like Guilhem said on iRC, it wouldbe hard to add
our own fields to the bug tracker for cpu-os-kaffe-confguration, for
example, which I think shouldn't be to hard for bugzilla.

And unfortunately, it's not free software either, so it'd be hard to
install one on a Xen server and play with it, we'd have to put the
information on an external sever and hope that nothing bad[1] happens.

I'll set up the Kaffe Launchpad instance to be able to track bugs between
distributions, and synchronize them with our own bug tracker. But I'd prefer
our own bugtracker on kaffe.org over forcing people to use non-free
software, in particular since Launchpad is not very popular with Debian
developers.

cheers,

mistake, and wanting to see it removed later to protect their privacy.
We've had a similar case once, and it wasn't pretty.
