In later times NAV developers and users have been complaining about the speed and feel of Sourceforge.net as a tool in the development. Reporting bugs and issues should be extremly easy and fast, as this causes _more_ reports, and more information is allways good.

As for features we want this should the trick:

• Easy web-interface for external users/reporters
• E-mail interface for the developers (both ways)
• RPC-interface (or similar) for scripted behaviours
• Code integration/hosting (optional as Mercurial has a decent web interface on its own)
• Task (feature requests, long term issues and so forth) management
• Free of charge, or open source so we can host it ourselfs

Assignment of tasks, statuses and such is considered a must, so its not mentioned in the list.

I have selected the following systems for reviewing (please notify me if I've missed any other decent ones):

• Launchpad.net
• Trac
• Mantis
