Re: [Savannah-hackers] GNATS host?

[Jeff Bailey]

Gerald: we're discussing how to best integrate Gnats into the 
sourceforge-like frontend that we've put on our cvs server.  I'd 
appreciate your comments.

Gnatsweb has recently acquired a new maintainer, and it would probably be 
unfair to rewrite it without consulting.  What needs to happen is:

gnatsd needs to have a command added to it to provide details on the schema.
gnatsweb needs to be able to adjust it's display based on this information.

I have added Gerald Pfeifer to the cc: list for his opinion.
