Bif is a project management tool with a command-line interface. It helps you track tasks, issues and bugs using a local database, exchanging updates with remote databases on demand. The tool has several features of interest to distributed project teams:
* Offline Operation - Many bif actions work offline; you can create and update tasks and issues while disconnected from the network.
* Inter-project Cooperation - Bif issues (and tasks) can be linked with (or copied to) multiple projects, mirroring the inter-project relationships that exist in the real world.
This flexibility comes with minimal additional complexity; bif commands are designed for consistency and ease of use.
Bif runs on any system that supports Perl and SQLite.

I should probably also mention that bif, while functional is still alpha quality software. And so far tests only pass on Linux and the *BSDs. Testers/bug-hunters for MacOS would be appreciated.
