I think we could help with the extropia bug tracker. However, in your case,
although it's been mentioned that Bugzilla isn't fully templately, I think
Bugzilla might be better for your needs.
Our bug tracker evolved to be a simple tool to share with clients we do
projects for and evolved over feedback from being used for that purposes
over the last couple years.
It has the major things a bug tracker would want, but it's not necessarily
as featured for dealing with tracking bugs for an "open source" project
like TT where your "clients" are any number of open source developers as
opposed to a smaller control group of testers.
In summary, there is definitely overlap so you wouldn't miss too much using
our bug tracker, but Bugzilla could be better tuned for the open source bug
management as it supports the Mozilla bug tracking.
Thanks for looking at some of our newer stuff! Not everything on our
download list is even Perl 5, but Bug Tracker is one of the newer releases
and is "Template Toolkit Enhanced". We probably should make an
"Announcement" but I've been wary of being all official because I wanted
the stuff to be released and tested in a smaller community for a full month
before really announcing it. Selfishly, since Stas is doing mod_perl 2.0
work fulltime, I am now getting back into our Perl stuff that he spent all
that time TemplateToolkit-izing. So I wanted to start supporting a small
community before "evangelization".
We've released some of our opensource apps on Template Toolkit Sept 1. I
think there are about 10 on the list. Really two major ones: WebCal and
WebDB. But WebDB is not really an application itself (you can think of it
is an Abstract Class in C++ or Java terms) and uses reconfiguration,
different templates, different action handlers, and different plugins to be
made into Bug Tracker, Address Book, Document Management, etc... through a
kind of inheritance into concrete apps.
Anyway, since people seem fairly happy with the latest developer release,
I'll see if I can try it out before 2.05 also.
Thanks,
Gunther
