Thanks Maggie.

Here some first impressions.

The good:
- It's responsive!
- It remembers my preferences (view type, # of issues per page, etc.)
- Editing multiple issues with the command window is easy.
- Search and filter functionality is powerful

The bad:
- Multiple projects are supported, but issues are then really mixed. The
way this works doesn't look very useful for combined admin of numpy/scipy
trackers.
- I haven't found a way yet to make versions and subsystems appear in the
one-line issue overview.
- Fixed issues are still shown by default. There are several open issues
filed against youtrack about this, with no reasonable answers.
- Plain text attachments (.txt, .diff, .patch) can't be viewed, only
downloaded.
- No direct VCS integration, only via Teamcity (not set up, so can't
evaluate).
- No useful default views as in Trac (http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/report
).

Overall, I have to say that I'm not convinced yet.

Ralf
