Certainly do-able, but the question is, "Why?" If GNATS were to be rewritten from scratch, XML metadata would certainly be the way to go, especially with XPath and SAX to play with for querying the docs. Still, GNATS has a good, fast little indexing application. Replacing the metadata with XML would be a major rewrite. You could step in to it incrementally by providing an XML export, perhaps. > Does anybody know of an XML DTD used for tracking bug/help requests? > I'd rather use one that someone else has standardized upon than roll > one of my own. Unfortuately, no. It would be wonderful if people would register their DTD's with some central registry database. --=20 Chad Walstrom http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ --GLp9dJVi+aaipsRk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 240 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj89NYcACgkQDMcLGCBsWv0SOwCeNXSURA69LRGA3a5XDXsqfjTw eDYAn36lOajlNtkPfovOsR0qJs/Uhp9H =g0UG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GLp9dJVi+aaipsRk-- --===============0370043607== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 139 _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats --===============0370043607==--
