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.
The current stable version of Roundup is 1.4.x which has
quite a comprehensive feature set.
For more information see the design
overview, and all the other
documentation.
Roundup has been deployed for:
bug tracking and TODO list management (the classic installation)
customer help desk support (with a wizard for the phone answerers,
linking to networking, system and development issue trackers)
issue management for IETF working groups
sales lead tracking
conference paper submission and double-blind referee management
weblogging (well, almost :)
...and so on. It's been designed with
flexibility in mind
- it's not just another bug tracker.
Roundup ships with a demo tracker to play with - after you've unpacked
the source, just run "python demo.py" and load up the URL it prints out!
Roundup was originally released as version 0.1.1 in late August, 2001. The
first change
note I wrote says:
Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
different for a while. Roundup here I come...
So I've been working on this thing for over five years. Do you
like Roundup? Want to say thanks? You can just send me a note (I always
appreciate them) or better yet,
send me a gift :)
