I don't know that bugzilla is an optimal solution for tracking project tasks - but it might be. Thing is we'd need additional product/component creation to do project management, but it's really geared towards products rather than project management.
I'd say bugzilla is good for tracking - and it doesn't care about what you are tracking ;-) Is there really a difference between tracking a bug and tracking a TODO? I doubt ;-) If you want to test bugzilla for project management, you can (ab)use the existing component "Action Items" in product "openSUSE.org" (optionally with a [prefix] in the bug summary). Creating additional components shouldn't be a problem [1]. However I want to avoid having a bugzilla component just for a test (we'd have to keep this component forever), so please do the first test within the "Action Items" component ;-)
Absolutely. But one of the important points here is that project management for something like this is somewhat different than bug/defect tracking (or enhancement tracking), so a tool that's going to be effective also needs to be one that's not designed for a different purpose bent and twisted to accommodate the needs of doing project management.
My impression is that project management means, to say it with Henne's words, "get the shit done". That's also true for bugreports, so the difference can't be that big ;-) Needless to say that bugzilla has two big advantages: It is already there (you can start using it today), and most people already know how to use it. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] AFAIK Coolo or AJ can create them, so we don't depend on the bugzilla team -- No, we sane people usually simply don't care and put such things in the same category as other software for studying fairytales. However people who believe in other imaginary beings like Allah, Shiiva, or the Spaghetti Monster might feel offended.
