You can look at https://rouilj.dynamic-dns.net/demo/ login with demo
password demo. Take a look at the "Create with Druid" option under issues.

If you want to look at the source, it can be downloaded from the
fossil instance at
https://rouilj.dynamic-dns.net/fossil/roundup_sysadmin/home.

At the very least it will give you an idea of what you can do with roundup.

I actually started with python by making my own tracker using roundup.

Feel free to use the emailing list. I do have a logger attached to the
IRC channel, but the mailing list and wiki are what most people use.
When I was learning roundup, I would email Richard (Jones, the
original author) late at night my time (US, east coast). He would fix
things during his daytime (Australia) and email me back so I could
spend the evening working on roundup.

Cool.

I'll get that fix in later today uless somebody beats me to it. That
while doc needs to be resructured and possibly split into two
(Reference and cookbok with examples maybe). It is too difficult to
find info in it currently IMO.
