Indeed it seems a good idea to have an issue tracking system for customer request (or issues). There is surpringly few solutions on the market, especially in Python. Most issue tracking I've seen embedded in websites are either very simple or ugly (i.e. no real integration but a simple redirection). Django website itself is using Trac (yeah !) but no real integration either. So far my experiment works without problem through WSGI. But having worked with Django and Trac/Bloodhound/Genshi, I was quite strucked by how similar they can be on many points. It's a long long shot, but we can try to make Trac/Bloodhound easier to integrate with Django and other frameworks ? (I'm not talking about replacing Genshi templating system or other components by Django, as I don't know enough about the subject) Olemis created a ticket related to this topic: https://labs.blood-hound.net/ticket/287 I don't know what is the "market share" for issue tracking system, but it seems that a lot of e-commerce website could benefit from that. Just throwing some ideas...
