Version:        1.0d
Entered-date:   2MAY97
Description:    WISE is a web-based project management tool.
                It is highly configurable, and can be 
                modified to describe a variety of functional 
                roles and project status states.  Users can
                different roles, and privileges associated
                with a given role can be tightly controlled.
                The package includes tools to automatically
                generate various software metrics.

                The package provides a nice web-based user 
                interface, and includes support for checkboxes, 
                menus, text fields, dates, numbers, etc. Project
                status is stored in an SQL database; an SQL log 
                of status changes is maintained.

                The beauty of this package is that it is configurable 
                to follow your project methodologies and workflow, 
                rather than the other way around, as most other 
                project management tools require you to do.

                Note that this package is a port to linux
                of the original WISE package. Assorted bugs
                have been fixed. A prototypical template
                for industrial-strength bug-tracking has 
                been added. Documentation is now included with
                the package.  A new report generation mechanism 
                has been added in order to support large 
                project databases.
 
                This package requires netpbm and gnuplot version
                3.6 to enable it's software metrics portions.
                i386-elf gnuplot binaries are included.
