annotate README.txt @ 8478:ed4ef394d5d6
doc: initial attempt to document setup of pgp support for email.
Used an AI assistant to help write this. Basic gpg commands seem to
work, but I have not tested this totally. Docs basically follow the
setup used for pgp testing in the test suite.
It looks like roundup accepts signed emails as well as encrypted
and signed emails. But it does not generate signed emails.
Also it looks like there is no PGP support for alternate email
addresses. Only primary addresses can do PGP emails.

| 7708 | 5 Introduction |
| 6 ============ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 Roundup is a tool for creating issue trackers. This includes: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 * bug trackers, | |
| 11 * help desk, | |
| 12 * agile development trackers, | |
| 13 * customer issue tracking, | |
| 14 * fleet maintenance tracking, | |
| 15 * GTD tool etc. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 It comes with predefined trackers meant to be customized for your | |
| 18 workflow. Starting trackers include: | |
| 19 | |
| 20 * generic tracker, | |
| 21 * development bug/feature tracker (3 variations), | |
| 22 * bare bones minimal tracker. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 Your users interact with (create, read, update, close) issues using a | |
| 25 web interface or by email. It can be programmaticly managed via REST | |
| 26 or XMLRPC, CLI, or via local Python scripts. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 The user's guide is at https://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/user_guide.html. | |
