PRepS in a Nutshell
PRepS is a tool for reporting and tracking problems or tasks. It is designed for tracking problems with software, but can also be used for tracking other types of problems or tasks. Be creative.
I started working on PRepS after determining that Gnats was overkill for what I needed to do, and that Gnats did not have the worlds greatest user interface. PRepS borrows some ideas from Gnats, and some ideas from other problem reporting systems that I have used. What I am aiming for with PRepS is a system that has enough features to make it useful, yet is not so complicated that it is cumbersome to use.
Please note that PRepS uses the PostgreSQL database server. If you are familiar with PostgreSQL, and with basic DBA tasks, then you should have no problem setting up and using PRepS.
