Bug Tracker for Pidora
Project Description
Trac is an open source Project management and bug tracking system. It is the system currently employed to keep track of bugs for Pidora. As with everything on the internet, there are those that use it as it is intended; but you also have a group of people that derive pleasure by abusing it and spamming the system (bunch of jerks!). There are many available modules to help control the incoming spam. While spam cannot be completely eliminated, it can be significantly reduced, and what is able to squeeze in through the automated controls, is easily dealt with by the administrator.

Project Details
Originally I had thought to keep Trac, and simply upgrade any necessary components to implement Trac spam filtering modules. However, after being informed of the current version of the system, it seems it would be equal effort begin from scratch. In light of this BugZilla seems to be the better choice; having been originally developed and used by the Mozilla Project. Also, it is currently employed by " Mozilla Foundation, Wikimedia Foundation, WebKit, NASA, Yahoo!, GNOME, KDE, Apache, Red Hat and Novell" (Wikipedia). This avenue may prove to be more robust in the future as it will lend to better performance and scalability. Trac on the other hand is currently deploying version 1.0 as the stable release, the previous version (and installed currently as the bug tracker for Pidora) is version 0.12.
Project Plan
Tracking
While there isn't much version control needed, I may use git to keep changes to configuration files as I work on them.

Goals by Release
Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
- 0.1
- Decide between BugZilla(currently the leader), and Trac.
- Install chosen application and any necessary spam filtering modules on a local machine/drive.
- Test installation against spam (possibly use cases already in Pidora bug tracker).
- 0.2
- Implement application (and modules) on Production environment.
- 0.3
- Make any necessary changes to enhance performance.

After much testing on virtual machines, I have successfully installed Bugzilla on the production server expected to host this service. I have tried to match the current bug tracking system on Trac, interface wise, so current users should not notice too much different in using it.
I will now be attempting to customize the site, and hopefully get the Pidora logo to show up on the front page. I am by no means a web developer, and my limited perl skills have been sitting on a shelf for well over a year. Wish me luck!
