Houston

Houston is an experimental issue tracker, designed to make bug reporting quick and simple, and to encourage a community to report bugs.

Design Goals

Make reporting simple
- Anyone can find a bug, so anyone should be able to report them
- People should /want/ to file bugs, this benefits everyone
Eliminate the learning curve
- Make the UI as simple and well-explained as possible
- No long manual pages to read, or lingo to learn
Eliminate signup and invite formalities
- Registration in a few clicks
- Ability to sign in with Twitter
No prior knowledge of the team structure should be necessary
- Assign bugs to "the code guys" or "the design guys" and let them assign them to specific people

"Houston" is too perfect of a name for an Issue Tracker
Most issue trackers on the market either suck (Mantis) or run on Ruby (Redmine)
- And after seeing a certain company's issue tracker dying on a daily basis due to running out of RAM, I'm not having any Ruby on my server
All of these are aimed towards companies with a dedicated QA division (and where everyone on a project knows each other)
Why not?
