Public access to mantis

[Felle]

What about making the mantis public, link the Bugreports section there and let people sign in (on the mantis) with their forum accounts and report bugs there? That would save us the time to reply to bugreports on different places - and make things better organized.

As for the things that we want to keep secret - new features, or bugs that could easily be abused - mantis has the option to add issues as "private" to only make them viewable by people with certain access. If we want to view bugreports before they are publically displayed, we can do like the MTA team did; people with no access can add tickets to one project (called "Bugs" or w/e) and the developers can move those to the actual project (LVP 2.90) when they have viewed/acknowledged them.

Mantis also has some type of changelog page (http://todo.sa-mp.nl/changelog_page.php), and I don't see why we couldn't use that instead of the wiki page? Once again, that's not very important - but would keep things better organized.

What do you think?

I like the idea. We could do it the way MTA does, make a seperate project where people can place new tickets, and if they are confirmed let devs move them to a (private) project where all the confirmed tickets are, being our current project.

[Matthias]

Agreed, nice idea.

[19:21:30] <@Felle> anyway... have we decided about the mantis?
[19:21:44] <&Fireburn> We'll do it

Do it!!

so i was playing around with the precompiler the other day and I think we should be using that to go open source. if we do that than badeend can modify the source so it requires a plugin, and if only we have the plugin (or the full version anyway!) then going open source really would be a possibility. it could speed up features a lot. i dont speak a lot of pawn however...

I don't really get what your plan is, also you don't speak a lot of capitals either so it seems ;p
