Traction is an Open Source frontend to the ticket tracking service Trac. Traction is written in AIR and uses Adobe Flex. Using Traction you can interact with your Trac tickets real time — in line edting, tabbing between fields, and filtering. This makes the process of organizing and modifying tickets far easier than the HTML interface offered on the web. Also, Traction caches your tickets locally so you only have to update new tickets every time you login, which makes the experience that much faster. You can also use Traction to create new tickets and track user “scores” which are calculated based on the priority of tickets closed by each user.
