Hi,

Is there some external or webservice API for Mantis? For example: Can I write a Lazarus GUI program to view and submit bug reports, without using a Web Browser? Similar to what CodeGear has with there bug reporting system.

If there is a WebService API, I guess a GUI bug reporting program will make for a very nice WebServices demo for FPC and Lazarus. :-)

Regards,
- Graeme -

Don't know how this will affect the load on the server. Pieces of Mantis like user prefs/permissions aren't coded in the most efficient way.

This should not make any difference.

Since it's coded as a SOAP webservice, it should be a piece of cake to connect with WST and create a GUI layer.

I think Mantis guys know the answer better ;)

I agree with Michael. It can see that it should make a difference. Accessing via WebService or via Web Interface (HTTP as is done now), the user prefs/permissions are still accessed either way.

Yes, except that automated processes may do that more often.
