It fairly straightforward. It's not Zendesk, but it is free.

We need it to be web-based, and staff can attach screenshots when they report an issue, and we can run reports to get the usage statistics. RT (http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.2/) is installed for years at university of strasbourg and we're planning more usage of it. it comes with a simple and yet rich web UI (with the ability for each users to configure their homepage with results and graphs built with graphical query builder). for automating, it comes with * scripts that can be executed at every stage of the ticket lifecicle * a simple text based rest API * a way to comment, respond, command a ticket by mail you can build associate content with extensions for SLA, KB, FAQ, ... users can send us questions and we can keep track of what kind of questions we get, who is working on it, etc. you can reply (also sent to requestor) or comment (just for your eyes) any ticket. It could be an open source or commercial tool. open source with a commercial support. It supports really large scale (it's the resquest tracker for the CPAN community). Does anyone know of something which is good to use? I don't know a lot of them but RT is from far the best i seen (for users *and* administrators). Note that it follows unix philo: RT by itself is just a bug tracker (but a very good one), everything else comes as extension or intercommunication with other systems. hth -- Marc Chantreux Université de Strasbourg, Direction Informatique 14 Rue René Descartes, 67084 STRASBOURG CEDEX ☎: 03.68.85.57.40 http://unistra.fr "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" -- Abraham Lincoln
