Introduction
Tracker software is used to collect threads to discuss different topics or to document projects.
ZShrink Issue Tracker is a Zope software product used to submit "issues" that others may reply to. This software supports file attachments and email notification.
Pros
Easy to install and to configure
Supports 'file attachments'
Uses Zope Page Templates
Good Installation Documentation
Cons
Poor Documentation of Python code
Difficult User management
My test configurations
 Zope 2.5.0 running on Win2k
Zope 2.5.0 running on Suse Linux 7.0
Installation
First, I downloaded the "tar" archive, then I installed the product into /lib/python/Products/. Installing the product is real easy. All you have to do is to copy the directory "ZShrink" into Zope's Product's directory. In order to run "ZShrink", the products "LocalFS", "ZTUtils v.1.1.1", "TAL v.1.4.0", and "PageTemplates v.1.4.0" must be installed (Note: If you have Zope 2.5.0 installed, you do not need to install the last three products mentioned because they are included in Zope 2.5.0). Because I was using Zope 2.5.0, I just had to download "LocalFS" and install it in the "Products" directory.
The "LocalFS" product is required because "ZShrink" allows users to add file attachments to their postings. These file attachments are stored in the local file system using the "LocalFS" product.
