Sorry if bugzilla wigged out - Si is trying to get a server set up in 
the USA, I suspect if that gets sorted we might move the koha site and 
acoutrements there to see if that will help.

I don't know if you can take out the must register bit?  Anyone else know?

Yep looks like a new one last month might be good.

Yep

We've got this up and running as well. We use it for one of our clients 
to use to request work - rather than to report bugs - we've kept the two 
seperate to date.

They do find it easier to use, and so I'm guessing everyone else would 
too :-)
