The "OSIMS" projects is a really bad acrynym for "Open Source Issue Management Software". What this basically means is, looking for existing software or creating software which tackles some of the basic tasks of administrating/implementing a quality assurance system. Emphasis being given to the ISO 9000 series of standards. Basically it's a journey that i'm undertaking to solve the problems for myself and documenting them here.
