+or create some, but don't expect them to persist if you do.)

+
+I'm pretty enthusiastic about merging this and then working on it
+further.
+
+Thanks,

+Hi everyone.  I found Bugs Everywhere and really like the idea of  
+distributed bug tracking.  I felt like practicing building a CherryPy  
+site so I put together a quick web interface to BE.  I know there's  
+already a TurboGears one in the works, but I needed an excuse to try  
+out CherryPy again after working with Django for a while.
+
+Would any of you be willing to take a look at what I've got so far and  
+tell me what you think I could improve?
+
+To install and use it:
+
+* Install CherryPy from http://cherrypy.org/ if you don't have it.
+* Install Jinja2 from http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/ if you don't have it.
+* Install BugsEverywhere - you probably know how to do this :)
+* Download a zip/tar of my project (or hg clone) from http://bitbucket.org/sjl/cherryflavoredbugseverywhere/
+* Unzip my project and put the folder in your Python site-packages  
+directory.
+* Symlink site-packages/cherryflavoredbugseverywhere/cfbe.py to /usr/ 
+local/bin/cfbe
+* Use the "cfbe [project_root]" command to start up the web interface  
+for that project.
+* Visit http://localhost:8080/ in a browser.
+
+I know that's a lot of steps.  I'd like to streamline it quite a bit,  
+but first I wanted to see if you have any feedback on the system  
+itself. Thanks!

+Hey, I haven't touched the web interface in a while, but I should have  
+some time to fix some stuff up tonight and tomorrow. Hold off on  
+merging it in until then.
+
+I'm still curious as to what people think the role of a web interface  
+like this should be. When I wrote it I meant it as a single-user  
+interface like the command line one. It could definitely work as a  
+public, read-only interface too.
+
+If the goal is to allow more than one person to add issues, how should  
+commits go? One commit per change? Commit every X minutes if necessary?

+
+Steve, I've touched up CFBE to work with my current BE branch.  Some

+soon.  I think the version-naming issue is what's currently blocking

+  static-http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/cfbe
+for Mercurial.
+
+Everyone, should CFBE-specific discussions move off-list?  More
+generally, I've been sending in lots of what-I'm-working on messages,
+but not hearing much back, so let me know if I'm being too obnoxious,
+and I'll shut up (or at least move more off-list) ;).
+
+Cheers,
+Trevor

+I think the multi-user/public is the way to go.  I'd also like to see

+There are interesting discussions about the role of distributed
+bugtracking here (I'm sure there are others):
+  http://lwn.net/Articles/281849/
+  http://community.livejournal.com/evan_tech/248736.html
+
+Personally, I've never done much cherry-picking or anything that would
+require me to determine exactly which parts of someone's work I want
+and which I don't want.  I just merge someone's head and edit out the
+bits I don't like, a process that also works well for our current
+"commit however you want" BE development model ;).  Maybe that just
+shows that I only work on minor branches of small projects :p.  In the
+absence of big-project advice, I think we just limit the web front end
+to our current model, and let the web interface commit however it
+wants as well ;).  +1 for adding a <commit> button to the web
+interface ;).
+
+One caveat about a multi-user interface would be that it would allow
+the casual users to commit bugs about whatever version they had
+installed onto the head of the public-bug branch.  In order to figure
+out what version of the project they were talking about, the project
+should have a way for the user to get a unique version string, ideally
+be the bzr-revision-id/git-commit/etc. of the commit for the version
+they were using.  This would allow developers to determine what branch
+to work on with the bug fix, and what branches needed to pull the
+eventual fix.  If the initially reported buggy version wasn't actually
+the root of the bug, oh well :p.  Material for a later related bug
+report or a reopen.
