Roundup 0.2.2 - an issue tracking system
Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design
from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition.
Note: Ping is not responsible for this release. The contact for this project
is richard@sourceforge.net.
Roundup manages a number of issues (with properties such as
"description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to (a) submit
new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with
other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the
participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when
issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be
simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable "out of the box" with any
python 2.0+ installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be
operational, though a disutils-based install script is provided.
It comes with two issue tracker templates and three database back-ends.
Back-ends for relational databases are being developed.
