WorkRoll
by WorkRoll.com

  WorkRoll is a web-based "issue tracker" that you install in less than five minutes on your JSP-enabled application server. Once installed, users connect to it through a web browser from anywhere on the internet (and the browser requires no plugins, ActiveX controls, or Java). Installation requires no text-file configuration, no non-standard or third-party Java classes, and no database. (If you don't have a JSP-friendly application server, several are available for free and are easily installed.)

Software developers should think of WorkRoll as a fully featured, e-mail-enabled "bug tracker." Other users should think of WorkRoll as "to-do" list to be shared via the web among members of a project team.

In either case, WorkRoll allows people to assign "issues" (things that need to be done before a certain time) to themselves or to other people, to assign a priority ("low," "high," "emergency," etc.) and a status ("open," "resolved," etc.) to each issue, to associate each issue with a certain project, to set deadlines, and to link URLs to issues. Users may then sort and filter lists of issues (for example, sorting the list by due-date, or filtering the list to show only issues assigned to a certain user).

If WorkRoll's e-mail capabilities are enabled, users will receive e-mail-based notifications of newly added or changed issues, and reminders of impending and missed deadlines. WorkRoll can generate printer-friendly versions of the issue lists it keeps track of, and can import and export these lists to and from other applications. And WorkRoll supports "tiered access" to its features (for example, "administrator" users can create new user accounts, while non-administrator users cannot).
