Hi Thomas, I agree with you that Mantis isn't the ideal vehicle for handling
feature requests.  I was only thinking that if the feature requests have to
be somehow extracted from Mantis and grouped together somewhere, a second
instance of Mantis might be quicker than setting up an entirely new
database.  However, it still leaves the problem that the amounts being
pledged are much too low to kickstart any development.  A dedicated database
would help (in my view) but I'm not sure if it would help *enough.*
