Hi; though I'm not currently relying on Scarab directly in my company,
I still consider it a solid option for integrating issue management,
and it's definitively part of our toolbox with our clients.

It's quite stable, even though it's not the easiest one to install
(neither the worst, by far!).
And its only problem might be kind of a lack of sex-appeal given its
stable nature. No breaking new features, no buzztechnology, no need
for it if you ask me :)

The quest for 2.0 was (IMHO) doomed because it was an exclusively
technological effort, not driven by functional needs, and it's hard to
recruit resources if you don't have an itch to scratch :)

So, trying you to make a long story short; there's a (small) community
that appreciates the product. Efforts invested in adding features must
be (as you do Hussayn) in a conscious way, respecting/improving the
adaptability Scarab has always valued.

And you can always count on we the old guard to help you at least in
finding the way to add the features that way :)

Hugs,
