Has there been some consideration of having a site where anyone could log in anonymously, and run queries against a problem tracking database? SD-Scicon experimented with such a system some time back, and I found it very useful. The GNAT bug list delivered with the compiler is useful, but of course it's not a complete list, nor do the titles alone always explain the bug. Bonus points: Have the developers add status to the problem reports, so that everyone can see what you guys at ACT do all day (when you're not on c.l.a, of course)! By the way, if such a database were made available, I would strongly recommend keeping rejected problem reports in there. They can serve as a very useful FAQ supplement... -- LMTAS - The Fighter Enterprise - "Our Brand Means Quality" For job listings, other info: http://www.lmtas.com or http://www.lmco.com
