I agree with the feature, but don't agree with the reasoning behind the need. In my opinion, a project will include bug fixes and enhancements, rather than being split into two projects. However, per project sponsorship flag may be useful for the case where a company has more than one product, some are open source, and others are not. For the ones that are not, sponsorship doesn't make sense.

This can be added as a field to the projects table, or as many other features, as a per-project-flag. Per-project-flags will be supported when the configuration is moved to the database. This will definately be after 0.19.0.

Victor, my needs was born in real life :-)
Our mantis installation have

• defferent projects for different products (all aren't OpenSource... or free in any other form)
• for "mainstream" program bugs and wishes was separated (bugs have higher priority) and some rare, unusual wishes can be sposored even in this model.

Will we can to see any form of per-project sponsorship in 0.19-CVS?

Maybe you need to sponsor it then :)

I can :-), together w/XOOPS integration - I want something unusual, I'm ready pay for dreams...

per-project settings is now possible. Please use 1.1.x releases.
