In my limited experience with trouble-tracking systems, you basically
need to change the work processes of everyone involved so that they
have some sort of vested interest in using the tracking system. Worse
yet, you need 100% compliance/participation or those that initially
participate will come to resent the *extra* work that they, the participants,
are doing for "the common good", that the non-participants are *not*
doing.
