There was no problem. The committee had their mandate, to find the best candidate for a tracker for Python. The quality of the tracker was felt to be more important than the language it was written in or the license it uses. The committee members worked hard to fulfill their mandate, and they deserve the gratitude and appreciation of all of us. I know for a fact (having raised this very issue with the committee myself) that they took "written in Python" into consideration. Not as a requirement though -- the requirement was simply to decide on the best tracker, regardless of language or license. Look at the results again. Jira and RoundUp tied for functionality, but Jira has a hosting/admin offer behind it. That's huge. But rather than declaring Jira the outright winner, which they could have done, the committee has allowed the community to decide the matter. If enough admins come forward, RoundUp will win. I read that as a big push for "written in Python". David Goodger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
