At least, in addition to bugs after 1.2 final, but I think the bug-fixed-gap between 1.1.1 and 1.2 is too great to merit trying to track all those, at this stage in the game. I have about 250 messages in my apache mbox regarding "WWW Bug Form Report" that I never saw answers to.. eek. Anyways, when I last worked hard on the project, I sent the message appended below; I haven't done any work since then due to real world duties, but I have updated gnats on hyperreal to 3.99. The only feedback I remember getting was: On Mon, 26 Aug 1996, Ben Laurie wrote: > Cute. A few wishes: > > 1.

Perhaps category should be a multiple choice list. Makes the interface a bit more complex. I spent a lot of time trying to craft a concise interface to encourage folks to explore, so I'll push back a little on this, but concede if others agree. > 3. Is there a mailing list associated with it? I have just now created one. "apache-bugdb", at majordomo@apache.org, yadda yadda yadda. I'd like to focus the conversation there, to help me filter it from the rest of the apache traffic, and set up a system we can make public (i.e., a replacement for our existing bug reporting interface) by the time we release 1.2 beta. Let's move the conversation over to there, it's all logged in http://dev.apache.org/mail/bugdb*.
