I'm looking at it now. The first thing that jumps out at me is that all 
users have to login to make a submission online.

IMO that will make it less likely for people to submit reports. However 
the rest of the system is very slick so I'm not sure what direction to 
take. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn of the login as it seems to 
be crucial to making sure the system works.

If we use bugzilla I will need full access to the mysql database on the 
server. I could code something with less features in php. It would work 
slower but it will work.

Of course I would much prefer to have access to the mysql database as I 
can do some other funky things for the install docs then too. Like a 
card rating system.

I have written to Jaroslav about this before but have never received an 
answer. I realise that I could be a huge security risk but I'm happy to 
sign some papers if that is what is required. I will send you my PO box 
address privately if that needs to be done.

So my Suse friends. What does the boss say?
