Is roundup usable yet? I played with it a bit yesterday, but I'm not really sure what's needed. It would have the advantage that if it didn't do something we needed, we could probably club it into doing it easily enough.

the drawback with "easily enough" is that you cannot resist modifying it -- so instead of learning how to use the tool you have in the best way, you end up hacking on the tool instead of doing more important work.

(fwiw, we're using a very slightly modified version of Ping's original one-day hack. took a couple of months to find the right "use patterns", but now that we know how to use it in a way that fits our development process, I doubt you can find a "more usable" tool...)
