[rt-users] Alternative GUIs for RT?

[Gary Greene]

Wow! This is nice looking and much more functional for average users. Is this still based off RT3 code, or have you based it off the 4.x series? Also, are there any plans to make your changes available for public consumption?

So we use these in house, but we could give you access to our test system, you can try it, and if you find useful we could send you the code for 3.8 (and the 4.2 as well but it is not in everyday use).
