Like the subject says, wouldn't the entire project be able to make 
itself much more transparent to the rest of the community by using open 
tools?  A good example of an open tool is Bugzilla - not only would 
users be able to watch and interact with the bugs affecting them, but it 
would also be of great benefit to the XFree86 developers.

Most open source projects of this magnitude (KDE and the Debian 
GNU/Linux distribution to name two) use an open bug tracking system.  Is 
there some unspoken reason for not doing this?

Also, roadmaps and such could be easily published as well.  Mozilla 
makes information readily available 
(http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html) to anyone who wants it.

Anyways I welcome your feedback, and thank you for opening this forum.
