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.

[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,
