think that Bugopolis would be willing to contribute that as part of the Bugzilla
documentation? I suggest this because they would be more apt to keep it up to
date as competitors’ systems change, and maybe Bugopolis might want to help out
the creators of the main component in their product in that extent.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

on target with respect to this conversation, but perhaps related, is the notion
of putting comparison charts of Bugzilla with commercial offerings on the
Bugzilla site.<br>
<br>
The process of a commercial enterprise deciding whether to use Bugzilla or some
other package usually includes a comparison of the contenders against a list of
requirements. Making that easier for the decision makers is probably will
result in more pro Bugzilla decisions as opposed to allow the comparison to be
framed by the proprietary offering's sales group.<br>
<br>
Bugopolis will be doing this on its Web site, but there is something to be said
for having such a comparison on <a href="http://www.bugzilla.com">www.bugzilla.com</a>
also.<br>
