I am sorry to interrupt this fascinating and wide ranging dialog, but  
I currently prefer Ruslan's suggestions of "What about just a menu  
item that throw into browser at correct URL? :-)" and his take on the  
"within UI" issue.

I would definitely like to minimize Mantis UI stuff in the current  
Valentina Studio implementation, unless VS is intended _absolutely_  
and _only_ for use by developers. The Valentina Studio interface  
should be kept clean and simple for Users. I would not necessarily  
want Users putting things into Mantis that their IT support/Developer  
did not know about. (I realize that most developers are going to  
develop their own database interfaces with their preferred tool for  
customers. However, from the Paradigma web site: "It is easy enough  
to use by anyone in your office.") Of course pro and consumer  
versions of Valentina Studio could be implemented with different  
features. (Like Filemaker Pro regular and developer editions, maybe?)  
Or Preferences to turn on and off some "developer" features could be  
implemented with a Supervisor lock out system so Users could not turn  
on stuff they are not supposed to turn on.

I hope some of my input makes sense.

My two cents,
