Romy,

I'm not sure I completely understand, but it sounds to me
as if you are depending on folks to look up the change
information in the issue tracker if they want to know what
changes are occuring.  Is that correct?

Even now I think that is making live a bit hard, but I am
also concerned that if/when FDO moves off CollabNet
we will likely not be able to preserve the issue tracker
data, and then we will have lots of SVN commits in our
history with only cryptic "FDO183" type issue ids that
we can't trace to any explanation.

Is my understanding correct?  Is it important for FDO
purposes that we be able to preserve the issue tracker
data for future research needs? Or is this sort of
historical review really not that necessary once you
get to a release checkpoint?

Perhaps much ado about nothing...

Best regards,
