The most important design goal was to <strong>be as simple as possible</strong> in order to let the Working Groups concentrate on what they do best: the creation of long and boring specifications! </p> <h2>Features</h2> <p> Tracker's <a href="features">feature set</a> is evolving over time, as we learn how people like to use it. You're encouraged to <a href="features#request">suggest new features</a>, but due to the limited time I can spend on maintenance the more useful a feature is, the more likely it will be considered. </p> <p> The main features are: </p> <ul> <li> Simple Web interface for opening and editing issues and actions</li> <li> Summaries of open issues and overdue actions (slacker tracker)</li> <li> associate issues with particular products (specifications)</li> <li> Working Group emails scanned for links to issues and actions</li> <li> iCalendar subscription for due actions</li> </ul> <p> A <a href="features">more detailed list of features</a> is available. </p> <h2>Testimonials</h2> <p> Here is what people had to say about Tracker. </p> <ul> <li> “Now that's Pimpin!” – <a href="https://www.w3.org/mid/27571585-A677-445D-9B1E-546EEB79966E@fuchsia-design.com">Antoine Quint</a>, CDF Working Group</li> <li> “Awesome” – Me.</li> <li> “Of course it isn't a sham! I'm more in love than ever before.” – Tom Cruise.</li> <li> “Kicks pen and paper to the curb.” –Norman Mailer.</li> <li>“It's hot.” –Paris Hilton.</li> <li>“No bullshit here..” –Penn & Teller.</li> </ul> <p> More appropriate testimonials gladly accepted. </p> <h2 id='install'>Installing Tracker</h2> <p>To have tracker installed for your Working Group, please ask someone in the W3C Staff to do so via <a href="/2011/04/dbwg/group-services">group services</a>.</p> <h2>What if we hate it?</h2> <p> Then I'll cry and want to delete all your data. But before I do, you'll be able to extract it all in a simple XML format, allowing you to migrate to another tracking system. </p> <h2 id="git_code">Can I get the code?</h2> <p>Tracker's code (which resides in WWW/2005/06/tracker/src) hasn't been released at this stage, as it relies on the specific schemas of W3C internal databases.</p> <p><a href="mailto:ted@w3.org">Ted</a> & <a href="mailto:vivien@w3.org">Vivien</a> should be your primary points of contact if possible; <a href="mailto:dom@w3.org">Dom</a> can help if needed.</p> </div>  <div id="footer"> <address>Tracker was originally developed by Dean Jackson and is now maintained by the <a href='/blog/systeam'>Systems Team</a></address> </div>  </div>  </body> </html>
