GnuCash Project in Bugzilla -- DB Dumps?

[Derek Atkins]

Andre,

Thanks for the information.  Yes, I am certainly aware there are
attachments, user accounts, etc all tied in.

In terms of the API, I was under the impression that Gnome's bugzilla was
a locally-modified BZ3.0?  Would the BZ4.4 APIs work there?  I would not
expect them to.

Thanks,
