From the positive point of view, Mathias & people around ACP are working hard on pushing Thing to GPL-ed open source license (and they've achieved quite a success
since then), so after then, everyone can take a look who did what.

I wasn't sure how official this is, so I didn't want to mention it. But this is another reason for not looking into this issue yet. It's much easier when the sources are available. And the problem isn't even there with the latest version of Thing.

By the way guys, don't you have a feeling we _really_ miss some working / usable / actively managed tool for project monitoring? I mean reporting bugs, adding feature requests, uploading screenshots, test builds, those binary (and maybe untested) stuff, patches, code snips.... I don't know about you but I'm totally lost in this huge amount of mails where "everyone" is posting some patches, builds, screenshots, RSC data, TBL data, sources, test applications, ... I think Alan is here as the last remaining active maintainer with CVS access and we can only pray he was able to track everything. I've got

Same here. We're using a tool called FogBugz at work. It would be well suited for such a project, but unfortunely it's commercial software. It even integrates with subversion and cvs, which makes it easy to track the actual check-ins related to a bug report. IIRC Mantis bugtracker has most of these features, so perhaps we should utilize the existing bugtracker? It doesn't seem to be used much.
