%%short-description: GNats: A Tracking System, is a bug tracking
system. It's based upon the paradigm of a central site or organization
which receives problem reports and negotiates their resolution by
email.
 
%%full-description: GNATS organizes the large volume of email that
flows between end users and software maintainers by defining a
database made up of archived and indexed email messages. It consists
of several utilities which, when used together, formulate and
administer a database of Problem Reports grouped by site-defined
"problem categories." It lets a support organization track problems in
an organized manner through acting as an active field archive for
field-separated textual data submitted through email.

There are several front end interfaces, inlcuding command line, emacs,
and tcl/tk. There are also a number of Web interfaces (CGI) written in
languages like python and perl.
