Is a bug tracker one of those problems?




>> Is a bug tracker one of those problems?

But "bug tracker" is not the problem that was being solved.

The problem was taking a big pile of legacy code and translating it to more than one platform vs rewriting the entire app from scratch in a new language that was cross platform.

It just happened that the legacy code was for a bug tracker, but it could have been for anything.
