Did you set it up on a Gentoo machine. I just couldn't get it working on |
| 8 |
my Gentoo (RC4) system, and I spent a couple of errors on it. Might have |
| 9 |
been RC4 issues or my lack of Python-knowledge. |

As said before, this is the _default_ interface too bugzilla which we |
| 18 |
have no intention of using (at least not for endusers). Bugzilla is |
| 19 |
complex before it's _very_ powerful. But I agree, the default interface |
| 20 |
is too complex for endusers even though most people have no problems |
| 21 |
adding a new bug. The complexety is when trying to find if a bug is |
| 22 |
already in there. |

This is very true while talking about endusers. When talking about |
| 29 |
developers I think the most important thing is that it can handle all |
| 30 |
the things we need to work effectivly. I also think none of the Gentoo |
| 31 |
developers will have problems learning Bugzilla if they set there mind |
| 32 |
to it. |
