Tracker Features

Tracker and its IRC bot trackbot have been retired as of 2023-12-31.
You can use Zakim to start/end your meeting easily.

Here's a detailed (but not complete) list of features:

General

Very simple schema. Actions have a title and a due date and are assigned to a single Working Group member. Issues have a title, a description and are related to a product. Issues can only have two states (OPEN and CLOSED).
REST-like interfaces

Simple HTML interface (works on mobile devices)
Summary page of open issues and overdue actions. Also gives details for each user (a slacker tracker).
Issues raised using a Web form
XML output available
Automatically creates links for URIs and Tracker resources (such as other issues and actions)
Meeting preparation summary including: pending review action items, overdue action items, issues recently discussed, etc
Dates can be entered in human readable form (eg “2 weeks” or “next Friday”)
Displays updates made via the Tracker tool (which user made what change)
iCalendar subscription available for each user's due actions.

Creates actions on the spot so they are automatically linked to the meeting at which they were assigned
Knows the Working Group members so ensures data integrity
Is able to close or reopen actions and issues
Is able to link related issues and actions

All email to the Group mailing list is examined and automatically linked to the relevant issue and/or action.
All new issues sent to the Group mailing list (or a per-product specific list if needed) so that the discussion thread can be tracked

Got an idea for Tracker? Send the Systeam [email protected] an email. But remember, new features are prioritised by usefulness.
