>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 at 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 2.1+ 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 six database back-ends (anydbm, bsddb, bsddb3, sqlite,
>metakit and gadfly).
