Every team should have this
MSDN now features a Product Feedback page where you can suggest/request new features and where you can read, search and file bug reports. The URL is
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/
What a great feature! I think every software development team should have something like this. It should also be relatively easy to set up, for instance using the (free) Issue Tracker Starter Kit. It's not only great for internal use, but teams could expose this to their customers and/or functional testers to gather and prioritize feature lists.
There sure is a lot of great stuff coming from the Development Tools teams at Redmond lately...
Update: Scott Galloway informs us about the BugNet effort over at GotDotNet, which apparently evolved from the Issue Tracker Starter Kit (which is, itself, a Beta). It's currently in version 0.61. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but it's definitely on my To Do-list. Thanks Scott!
Update 2: David Boschmans further points to BugTracker.Net, another open-source bug tracking application, which he has used at customers' sites and which seems very interesting. Thanks David!
