RE: Development of gnatsweb

[Wasserman, Sherry]

Hello,

I am currently working on bringing gnatsweb up at our location.  I like what
you 
are doing to the screens.  I am not a perl programmer, so I'd really
appreciate it
if you'd share your code.

Thanks,

                Dear gnats developers,

                as I've gotten the impression that the gnatsweb developers
are quite tired of 
                working with their program, I turn to this list instead.

                First, gnats seems to be a really nice program, easy to use
and to configure to 
                fit your needs. If only it was easier to set up...

                Well, three things concerning gnatsweb:

                1. Is really $display_user_info used? In that case, I can't
find that it is set 
                when calling page_heading except for one time, and it isn't
properly forwarded 
                to the site_callback function either. Probably it should be
removed.

                2. Site-callback is supported only for the start, heading,
footer and ending 
                parts of the page. It'd be nice to let the user have a hand
at the actual pages 
                too, I see why maybe they shouldn't have, but will it be
implemented?

                3. I know about the "we shouldn't have pictures in gnatsweb
- since then it 
                won't be portable", although I don't agree. Right now I'm
setting up a gnatsweb 
                service for SKF (www.skf.com) and maybe you'd be interested
in seeing how I'm 
                getting it to look. Are you interested in having some of
this implemented in 
                gnatsweb? For example, I think it'd be handy to have access
to all the different 
                pages in the heading of every page.

                Thanks for now.
