The trackers are in /home/roundup/trackers, owned by roundup:roundup,
so to make any modifications you have to 'sudo -u roundup'.

However, I'd like to ask people to refrain from using the live tracker
to test features. What I do is to use a local clone of the tracker
(checked out from subversion, instantiated with roundup-admin as usual),
and do may playing around and testing here.
Only once I'm sure it works do I make a patch and submit it, or update
the live tracker for others to see the change I have made.

Kind regards,
		Stefan
