[Zope] [ANNOUNCE] JTracker simplified issue tracker released

[Jens Vagelpohl]

   The JTracker product provides a simple issue tracker that was 
inspired by the original ZClass-based Tracker product and its 
replacement, the Collector.

   I decided to "roll my own" because I disagreed with the complexity of 
both these packages, the policies and usage patterns encoded in them as 
well as the disruptive design of the user interface which disrespects 
existing site design. I found it very tedious to use as the 
administrator and sole supporter. The last straw was the fact that the 
Tracker prevented me from upgrading my own sites to Zope 2.6.x because 
it is incompatible with some change between 2.5.1 and 2.6.

   I am using the JTracker for issue tracking on my own supported 
software packages (including LDAPUserFolder, MaildropHost, JRedirector 
and more) and its simplicity and openness to the administrator users 
makes my life easier. JTracker has been driven (and will continue to be 
driven) by my own needs and policies and might not be suitable for 
every application.

   You can find the JTracker at

encouraged and can be entered into the JTracker instance at
