+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).
