Item Tracking system implemented as a TWiki Application

This is a simple Tracking System implemented using TWikiForms. It has been implemented to be used in a web on its own, but could be intermingled with a discussion style TWikiWeb.

See http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/Bugs for an example of it in use (though please don't change anything; it's a live Bug DB!)

The BugsContrib is a TWikiApplication (an application that is implemented entirely in TWiki topics). It is designed to use the left bars supported by "pattern" skin, though could easily be converted to another skin. It's ideal for a small bug database (we have used it with over 2000 items with no problems) for a disciplined team.
