Re: [tsc-devel] Project management software / server OS

In my opinion the software should be easy to use through a web interface 
or by email, allowing each contributor to choose how to use it as he/she 
sees fit.  Command line usage might potentially be useful, too, though I 
can't speak to this for trackers as well as Quintus.

I generally use both email and web interfaces for project tracking 
software myself, though I do use web a bit more.

difficult for some people to use

Sometimes it is not a question of difficulty but rather convenience in 
using the web interface.  What is convenient varies based on the situation.

our workflow and only on a secondary level is easy to use for non-core 
TSC contributors

The usability of our tracking system can have a minor effect on whether new people choose to get involved with the team, so it is important to consider other users.  I do agree that the workflow favored by the core team members tends to take a bit more importance.
