Hi Jesse,
sorry for the late reply, but we had a "release party" last night. :)

A quick list of what does work:
- authentication against RT
- Displaying tickets
- Updateing tickets
- Creating new tickets
- Mabye more that I don't remember....

As far as we know (hehe) all features that is enabled should be working. 
So there is no features you should stay away from. But as stated 
earlier, there is no check against the ACL yet, so all users will be 
able to see and read all tickets of all queues in the database. All 
users will also be able to reply to all tickets (with no check against 
ACL), but the RT-system will discard all these.

A quick and simple description of how things are done. All data that we 
get from RT is collected directly from the MySQL database. All data that 
we put back in (create/update tickets) are done through the 
CommandByMail extension.

Hope this answered most of your questions.
