I know I am probably going to take crap over this suggestion, but why don't we use something like sourceforge for the ticketing system. It seems like there is a lot of distraction in maintaining the project infrastructure like bug tracker, wiki, etc.
Thanks, wt

Gregg, it is not really so easy to resolve. We do want the bug tracker to be easy to add information to.
Yes, it sucks!
So far I don't think it's too bad, but there will be more of course.
The alternative is to have people complaining they can't post tickets without an (svn) account.
Maybe a Trac account would be sufficient. I'm run other Trac instances with the requirement that an account is created (with email address, so that people will receive ticket updates) and the email address must be verified (random string link in email) before the account can actually use Trac. This works well so far.
Sandia have developed a Trac plugin to allow moderators to process all input to Trac, it looks good, but it seems to fit the best only when the group of moderators is very much homogenous, and when everyone have equal desire to help with moderation. I was hesitant to implement it in other Tracs.
For some reason the captcha in trac's spam-filter plugin does not seem to work. If someone knows how to get this combo working, please drop me a note,...
What's the failure mode? One spam filter plugin has this scoring system where a captcha is only one source of points. Maybe it needs more configuration? Let's take it off-list.
