Hi,
I am trying to get a quick idea of the amount of work that would be required to build a completly new frontend to Mantis. I must first admit I did not take the time to dig in the code and research for myself before asking this question. I simply would like to get an idea on how possible this is before spending any more time at this.
Basically I would like to be able to build a new (non HTML for example) interface to Mantis. this interface should be able to offer all the same functions as the current HTML/PHP based interface for reporting bugs, searching, administring, etc.
Is Mantis designed in a way where there is a clean decoupling from the actual application services and its UI? If so, could we easily expose those services using some technology independant protocols like SOAP or XML-RPC etc?
Best regards,
Colin.
