Thanks Mark -  I look forward to seeing the list :-)   

What are your thoughts on having a single , visible  bug database? I'm
well aware of the the pain involved in moving from one tracking system
to another - I  assume that unless your internal system is based on
something like bugzilla you'll want to keep the old one around until its
contents have become obsolete?   It would be good if we could move
quickly to the point where all new bugs are raised on a publicly visible
bug tracker.
