I set up OneOrZero a few years ago and have been happy with it.

I know that some things changed there and the product evolved into something I 
did not want - as I was happy with what I had and how it worked. Perhaps you 
will like what it has become. Alternatively, I bet I have the old (FL/OSS) 
install around as well...

What I have is a simple/polished help desk system. Here is a sample screenshot. 
Being a one-man team I leave most things 'unassigned', but the idea is you can 
have what you are describing I think...

There are many other pieces, but this one screen might give you an idea of what 
I use...

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for 
others.

adaptations of incomplete ideas."

We are using OTRS (Online Ticket Request System) for our IT staff, and have 
customized a webform for requests that dumps directly into the system when 
users have a trouble ticket. Our Marketing staff wants something similar, but 
is not happy with the way OTRS operates (they think it is too complex).

What other (preferably open-source) alternatives are available to track 
tickets? Specifically, Marketing is wanting something equivalent to the excel 
spreadsheet that the secretary currently keeps, but she wants to see the 
following:

What the job consists of (details)
Who is currently responsible
When the job is due
What deadlines are imposed, if any – for proofs and so forth
When the job is sent to the printer, if required
When the job is sent to the webmaster, if required
When the job is “completed”

And of course, she’d like for this to be searchable and sortable, and be able 
to be color coded by person responsible. Oh, yeah, and they want to be able for 
people to input some of this info themselves via a webform…

Thanks in advance,
