-About Roundup
-=============
-
-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 project. The contact for this
-project is richard@users.sourceforge.net.
-
-Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible 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 2.3+ 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 (a classic bug/feature tracker and
-a minimal skeleton) and five database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, metakit,
-mysql and postgresql).
