 It feels great when we get feedback from the user community about how Mantis had a positive effect on their personal experience, made them more productive, and benefited their organization.  A lot of the feedback I get is via email, some on mailing lists, and some on forums.  I would encourage such users to blog about it, write their story in the [[mantisbt:success|Mantis Success Stories]], tell their friends about Mantis, and recommend Mantis to other organizations.  Mantis is driven by it's community, the greater the community, the greater the ideas, the greater of a product it becomes. It feels great when we get feedback from the user community about how Mantis had a positive effect on their personal experience, made them more productive, and benefited their organization.  A lot of the feedback I get is via email, some on mailing lists, and some on forums.  I would encourage such users to blog about it, write their story in the [[mantisbt:success|Mantis Success Stories]], tell their friends about Mantis, and recommend Mantis to other organizations.  Mantis is driven by it's community, the greater the community, the greater the ideas, the greater of a product it becomes.
