Igor,



A)-----------------------

What about switching to the built-in support at sourceforge for a) 
enhancement requests and b) bug reports:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=145591
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=762476&group_id=145591&func=browse
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=762479&group_id=145591&func=browse


These would give users the ability to post individual requests, and then 
developers could step up and fill in the "assigned" field as they decide 
to implement or fix something. Then the bug or enhancement can be 
closed or deleted.

I think there are systems more elaborate than sourceforge's for this 
type of use case, but this one is free and already setup. We can walk 
before we run. Would this not be an improvement over where we are now?

If agreed, then please just make sure that the developers have full use 
privileges so we can administer this database without having to run to 
you for each edit of any kind. (Sorry I cannot be more specific than 
this, I have not used this database much yet.)


Your existing wiki page could then be modified to simply be a link to 
the above two database UI's.


What do we think about this?


B)--------------------------

We need to put the downloads on sourceforge.net. If you look at many 
of the postings in the users yahoo group, then you see that the two 
download sites are not functional and have not be up for some time. 
Can we get a volunteer to administer this? Igor are there any admin 
roles that need to be given to that person so they can maintain the 
files up there without being blocked by sourceforge?
