I wasn't sure how official this is, so I didn't want to mention it. But this is another reason for not looking into this issue yet. It's much easier when the sources are available. And the problem isn't even there with the latest version of Thing. > By the way guys, don't you have a feeling we _really_ miss some working / > usable / actively managed tool for project > monitoring?

It would be well suited for such a project, but unfortunely it's commercial software. It even integrates with subversion and cvs, which makes it easy to track the actual check-ins related to a bug report. IIRC Mantis bugtracker has most of these features, so perhaps we should utilize the existing bugtracker? It doesn't seem to be used much.
