Features and Bugs module Internal preview

Hi all,

I finished features and bugs tracking and reporting module and submitted
a copy to mh7 and webmedic for internal preview. If all goes well, this
can be a start for SF like functionality for Envolution.com, its
affiliates and, if there is enough demand for such a module, an official
release will follow.

Just a quick overview of features this module offers:

Unlimited number of project categories.

Unlimited number of projects in each category.

Unlimited number of versions for each project.

All requests for each version are handled separately.

Defined request types for: bugs, features, patches, downloads, support,
questions, and comments.

No need to play with permission system (all handled by the module itself
for better control and security)

Four distinct types of users: site admin, project managers, assigned
developers and other users.

Ability to allow or disallow anonymous requests through admin interface.

Ability for registered users to volunteer for unassigned requests.

Complete project manager desktop that allows creation and management of
any number of versions within a given project, assignment of unassigned
requests, volunteer management, change of request status, ability to
reopen and reassign requests. 

Users can use module in two ways: passive browsing or active
participation (allows volunteering and request submission)

What it does not do:

Does not have ML support yet (database infrastructure is in place
however)

Has one known bug (I cannot create an outside link for some reason :))

Does not provide CVS

Well, that is all for now.

If you have questions or comments before it is installed somewhere
(www.hobby-software.com will have it on Envolution 1.00 powered site
right after the release), let me know.

If there is enough demand for such functionality, I will consider future
development.


Respectfully,
