A dece= ntralized tracker would just offer the same advantages that a decentral= ized VCS has to offer. One could work on issues while not connected to = the internet, for example. So this would be a VeryGoodThing=99. I don't think that it would be a good idea to "teach" git issue tracker= functionality. I simply wanted to voice my opinion that something like= the ideas Neal suggested down the thread, a cli issue tracker with git= in the backend, are very worthwhile to evaluate. But it should have an= additional layer so it's really easy to use. It has to be so it *is* a= ctually used. It needs to reduce workload instead of increasing it. Cheers, Joern.
