Hence his call for help, and our interest in trying to help maintaining
it (in the frame of ou HELIOS project) ;-)

I hope we'll be able to help revive bts-link's development, in the next
weeks (we'll probably have to setup some discussion with Pierre at some
time... I may be wrong but I think he's in Paris, so we may be close
enough to have a face to face meeting ?)

Cool. I'll have to test it and see if I may switch to that branch
instead of the master one (I initially missed it when I cloned the
repo). I'll probably get back to you then ;)

Very interesting. Please keep bts-link's list posted of your progress.

FYI, we've also just talked to people interested in implementing some
RDF store of bugs harvested from bugzilla, in the frame of a European
project, and I guess the results may end up in being included in some
KDE desktop's technology... I think they planed to code that in Python.

So I expect we'll be able to synchronise these efforts in some way, and
that it may result in some interesting libs and results.

I'll try to keep the list posted of the progress.

Btw, you may be interested to know that :

Lookin forward to collaborate with you ;-)
