So, I finally bit the bullet and paid for Ecto, the most excellent upgrade to Adriaan Tijsseling's Kung Log. No longer donationware (which I expect most people donated--I admit, alas, that I didn't) but payware with a two-week trial period. And I have to say... this is darned sweet. Being able to manage multiple blogs at once (with the odd blip here and there--drafts don't store which account they were associated with so far as I can see) is really nice, especially now that we're looking at using Movable Type as an in-house project support tool. Using MT certainly beats weekly (or "whenever I remember") status report postings--whenever something of interest pops up it can be logged and saved, regardless of where I happen to be when it occurs. Definitely nice. We run RT in-house as well, but this sort of thing's less-well suited for RT, and being web-based RT requires having on-line access to the server.
Now, thinking about it, if someone built an off-line or semi-off-line RT tool, akin to Ecto for web logs, that'd be very nice. Maybe I'll dust off the CamelBones stuff and take a shot at it. (Or, given what I've got for time, maybe not... :)
