I would rather people file bugs on Sourceforge. They don't need an account
to do this. It's nice because I get an email notification when one is
filed.

Now, if email notification were written into PhpWiki and we could get
notices that someone has added/updated the PhpWikiBugs page, I think I
would still prefer Sourceforge because it's specifically tailored to bug
tracking. Bugs can be catagorized, rated, and closed or rejected.

This harkens to the thread about ticket tracking. If PhpWiki becomes
better at bug tracking than Sourceforge I'll switch someday.
