Cool. The "GNU Gather" project will use Python and the Roxen WWW server
to create a WebDAV/RTSP-based groupware framework, including applications
like issue tracking and "knowledge database" management.

We don't have any release schedule yet; in fact, the programming for
"GNU Gather" hasn't even started. So while you might want to subscribe
yourself to the "GNU Gather" initial announcements mailing list (see my
.sig for URL), "GNU Gather" is probably a bit to heavyweight (and will
take too long to finish) if all you want at the moment is "just" a mail
tracking system.

BTW, there's a web page about bug tracking and problem management tools
for Linux at <http://linas.org/linux/pm.html>.

Yours,
Markus.
