27 About Roundup
28 =============
30 Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
31 command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design
32 from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition.
34 Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project
35 is richard@users.sourceforge.net.
37 Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as
38 "description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to:
40 (a) submit new issues,
41 (b) find and edit existing issues, and
42 (c) discuss issues with other participants.
44 The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing
45 discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of
46 the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup
47 is therefore usable "out of the box" with any python 2.0+ installation. It
48 doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though a
49 disutils-based install script is provided.
51 It comes with two issue tracker templates and three database back-ends.
