This might not be of much interest, but I’m working on doing a strip down mylyn for Emacs. There is already a jira.el for Emacs, and I’m concentrating on a trac version using xmlrpc.
To make things clear, it’s not a clone, so for starters I’m only concentrating on my particular needs. That is:

I like simple things, and I believe I’m a very simple person –though my wife of 13 years begs to differ.
My quest for software that’s as simple as my needs, is an on going one, my good friend Tamgo, jokingly asks me: “What’s the OS of the month?” and he’s right I do change Os’s [...]

Some believe Apple should release OS X as an OS for non [...]
It is quite an interesting event to see that still in 2008 people are fighting and searching for the perfect editor, things have certainly change from when I started programming, in those days we had:

In the last couple of days I’ve been asked that question more times than I want to answer, so to make it easier for me I’m posting the answer here. It’s not that interesting, but as this blog has been neglected and some of the people expressed their discontent to this (didn’t know so many [...]
