+Roundup support code
+ Installed into your Python install's lib directory
+
+Roundup scripts
+ These include the email gateway, the roundup

+
+Roundup instances
+ Instances consist of core support files, issues
+ (be they bug reports or otherwise), instance configuration file(s),
+ etc.  Roundup instances also adhere to a specific "Template" which
+ defines the fields usable/assignable on a per-issue basis.  A
+ description of the provided templates follows.
+
+Classic Template
+----------------
+
+The classic template is the one defined in the `Roundup Specification`_. It
+holds issues which have priorities and statuses. Each issue may also have a
+set of messages which are disseminated to the issue's list of nosy users.
+
+
+Extended Template
+-----------------
+
+The extended template adds additional information to issues: product,
+platform, version, targetversion and supportcall.
+There is an additional class for
+handling support calls, which includes a time log, customername, rate and
+source.
+
+The priorty class has different default entries too: "fatal-bug", "bug",
+"usability" and "feature".
+
+Users of this template will want to change the contents of the product
+class as soon as the instance is created.
