disadvantages of a mailinglist:
- easy problems are solved by 10 people in 5 minutes, hard ones often by
none
- not clear who is the "owner" of a problem
OK so what we need is an enhaced mailinglist with a web interface. I've
used wreq (http://www.math.duke.edu/~yu/wreq/) in the past for something
similar. Features:
- web and mail interface
- each problem gets an assigned owner
- status of entered items is clear
- not much extra work in comparison to a mailinglist.
- outstanding bugs stay visible until closed (instead of forgotten)
It may not be ideal for this kind of thing, but it is a start. Has anyone
suggestions for a better tool?
