I agree. This is getting urgent. Can anyone out there help?
There is a nice wiki page about issue tracking at W3C [1]. Tracker is great,
but it is only available for use by W3C working groups [2]. The classic
Bugzilla is mentioned but characterized as "kind of a double-edged sword in
that it provides very powerful tracking and query features for those who are
willing to take the time to understand how it works, but it can be a bit
overwhelming and confusing for those who have not had opportunity to work with
bug/issue tracking systems before or are not willing to take the time to read
the documentation and understand how to use it" [3].
Also mentioned in [1] is RoundUp [4] -- a ten-year-old Python project, used to
track Python and IETF projects, which I hear is easy to install and easier to
use than Bugzilla.
I see in my notes that someone once suggested Assembla [5] -- a cloud-based
service to which DCMI would need to subscribe.
If anyone here can testify to the usability (and easy-installability) of
RoundUp, I'd be inclined to go with a system that is included with the rest of
the DCMI Web archive.
Suggestions, please!
Tom
