# New ASP.NET Issue Tracker Starter Kit

By Roy Osherove June 4, 2004 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 4, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

There's a new ASP.NET Community starter kit : [Issue Tracker](http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=9&tabid=47) (via [Early Adopter](http://ea.3leaf.com/2004/06/new_aspnet_issu.html)).

This joins in nicely to something I've been wanting to blog about: there's a real lack of good free issue tracking software. I asked around and no one can tell me of a free good one, especially something with a rich client front end, that's suited for a place with more than 1 developer. This is of course despite that fact that people seem to **love** re-inventing the wheel all over again at each company and create an issue tracker of their own. go figure.

Maybe this one will be a good compromise.
