Remember

Mantis is not only our issue management system; it's also a powerful tool which helps us coordinate and prioritize our tasks. It also serves as history of what we've done and eventually why and how. There's also the possibility to link wiki articles to issues catalogued in Mantis. It allow us document project decisions, discuss alternatives, etc. A good example of this is issue 327: By clicking on a the link "Wiki" you will be redirected to the corresponding article in our wiki. Please try it out.
