[rt-users] Some features I'd like to see

[Jesse]

I apologize in advanc e for what is likely to be a typo-laden enmail. I'm coming to you live from a cafe in downtown DC... CDPD sure ain't what ricochet is for latency....


1 will be coming sometime in the 2.x series. RT is to be integrated with a knowledgebase and will allw automatic mailing of KB Articles to users.
2. well, there's a patch tobix wrote for this for 1.0. check out the contrib archive.

3. We hope to su;pport a form of hierarchical ticket sometime earli in the 2.x series. This would allow you to bind together all the abuse tickets related to a particular issue and do one update that is mailed seperately to the requestors for each ticklet
