Idea

Create an issue tracking system inspired by Jira™.
Actually, same as Jira™, but with improvements:

1. Completely based on file system:
   • Simple and transparent back-ups, cloning, and everything what file system is good for
   • Easy to setup, repair or monitor with existing tools
   • Version tracking using git™
2. Use only open and well-community-supported frameworks for everything
3. Add features, missing in Jira
   • Rename attachments
   • Meta for attachments (description, dates)
   • Move comments between issues
   • Edit comments meta (creation date, etc.)
   • Move attachments between issues
   • Search by file name and description
   • Improved previews and thumbnails for attachments (for example PDF thumbnails)
   • etc.

5. PROFIT!
