Not technically a Tracker clone (we don't have points or all of its states) but we're in the neighborhood -- at StoryTime we've been writing about the development process monthly if any of ya'll are curious about what takes the most time in this domain.

Tracker's basics are pretty simple but getting the details right takes some finesse. Its multi-user update model is deceptively sophisticated -- being very responsive without ever losing data is a bit tricky, and you're probably making some tradeoffs you'd rather not make. The drag-and-drop behavior also took us a while to get exactly how we wanted it.
