Hi, I was very impressed while reading about the mantis-dotproject integration; We already use Mantis (1.0.3), and we would start using both to improve our project planning with customer reports; I've some questions:

- we have to change our current Mantis installation/DB?

- can we map current "Severity: feature" field in Mantis as "New Feature Request" in dotproject help-desk? this is very important, cause currently customers signal new feature requests by setting Severity in Mantis as "feature"; I tried to do that but in dotproject I see items as "Not Specified" type.

- Is the project stable? We would use to manage our project, not to play... ;-) While trying the demo I got an error in dotproject, and after the corresponding issue in Mantis disappeared; if I go directly to the issue number I got errors:

http://demo.caseysoftware.com/mantis/view.php?id=2

APPLICATION WARNING #403: Database field 'name' not found.

- what about upgrade? if dotproject or Mantis will upgrade systems, do you plan to release script/info on how to upgrade both platform?

- How many changes did you made to the mantis/dotproject sources? Are they just plugins (i.e. additional modules which do not modifiy the core) or patches?

tnx in advance,

Gino
