Dear subscribers

I hope my message will arrive this time at the audience I would like 
to address.

Some times ago I started working on a template-based version of 
Mantis. The goals are clear, separating layout from application 
logic. After several tries I went to HTML_Template_Sigma and it worked well.

Then I became more ambitious and started refactoring also other parts 
of the code as well.  The result is not yet ready, e.g. it works only 
with Firefox, but before other people start to invest their time in 
similar activities, they may have a look at 
http://www.akqit.ch/Mantis - you can login as guest or administrator. 
I didn't change the password.

Some days ago I also started documenting what I did so far and used a 
Wikkawiki for that purpose. Try http://www.akqit.ch/wikka or the 
llink '-> Mantis Issue Tracker' in the horizontal bar when you are logged in.

PS: http://www.akqit.ch is only a temporary home.  I will move to 
http://www.protracq.org soon.
