Thanks very much, Sven.  But now I see the new tracker in place I 
have to say, I wonder if this is the right way to go.

It's certainly a good thing to have a searchable database of such 
changes, but IMO this should be (a) static and (b) editable only 
by developers (including yourself, of course).  The regular SF 
tracker apparatus (Assigned to/Status/Priority, and so on) doesn't 
seem to apply, and might be confusing.

However, that's just my first reaction and I'm willing to be 
persuaded otherwise.

Allin.
