Is roundup usable yet? I played with it a bit yesterday, but I'm not really sure what's needed. It would have the advantage that if it didn't do something we needed, we could probably club it into doing it easily enough. Cheers, M. -- I never disputed the Perl hacking skill of the Slashdot creators. My objections are to the editors' taste, the site's ugly visual design, and the Slashdot community's raging stupidity. -- http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/klee/misc/slashdot.html#faq

the drawback with "easily enough" is that you cannot resist modifying it -- so instead of learning how to use the tool you have in the best way, you end up hacking on the tool instead of doing more important work. (fwiw, we're using a very slightly modified version of Ping's original one-day hack. took a couple of months to find the right "use patterns", but now that we know how to use it in a way that fits our development process, I doubt you can find a "more usable" tool...) </F>

FWIW, we used to use a fairly seriously modified version of Ping's original one-day hack, and gave it up. It was generating too much email and the 'nosylist' concept wasn't working for us. The more explicit list management that bugzilla uses seems to work better for us. YMMV. --david
