If you would like to contribute to the documentation, your contributions
will be most welcomed!

If you spend a little time and get the ticket system configured the way you
want it, then write a brief article titled something like "How A Newbie
Configured Fossil's Tickets To Do What He Wanted" I sure it will be much
appreciated by others in your situation.  And if you encounter
insurmountable difficulties, you can always get help here on this mailing
list.  And we (the developers) are likely to add features if you discover
missing capabilities.

If you come up with an interesting ticket setup, maybe we can add it as a
"one-click" setup option someplace so that others can use it without the
hassle and learning curve.
