			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Git is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed. It was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.</p>
<p>Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.</p>
<p>Git&#8217;s current software maintenance is overseen by Junio Hamano. Git is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.</p>
<p>For an in-depth understanding of version control with GIT, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596520123?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=opesouliv05-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0596520123" title="Version Control With GIT">check out Jon Loeliger&#8217;s book</a>, published by O&#8217;Reilly Media.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Request Tracker (aka RT) is a ticket-tracking system written in Perl used to coordinate tasks and manage requests among a community of users.</p>
<p>RT has many interfaces for creating and updating tickets. A web interface is available for both logged in users and guest users. It is easily tailored by granting or denying specific permissions to users as well as by adding custom fields and data to tickets. Template callbacks allow the modification of the software&#8217;s web pages without requiring extensive knowledge.</p>
<p>Email is another primary interface to RT and is often the only interface many guest users see. The email system includes support for auto-responses, attachments, and full customization of the rules which govern to whom and when email is sent. Emails are stored in RT as correspondence on a ticket, and the software can make a distinction between public replies and private comments to show them as appropriate.</p>
<p>A full REST API and a command-line tool are also provided as another way to interact with RT.</p>
