Agreed.  I've adapted it for use as my personal task tracker.  It's
more geared towards project management and bug handling, but with a
little configuration works great as a ticketing system also.

I used their Python API to write a little procmail script to insert
emails into the ticket database as well.  Very handy.

It'd be kinda neat to see someone put some work into the Track
ticketing system to make it a little more geared towards help desks and
the like... but even as is it's very functional.
