Trumpeter is a stand-alone server that integrates RT (Request Tracker) with an XMPP chat server (used by Jabber, Pidgin, Google Talk, etc.). It regularly queries RT, and posts notification messages in chat rooms when new tickets arrive, when they are about to expire, and when they are past their due time. It is quite configurable, making it easy to watch several RT queues simultaneously and post the results to different chat rooms.
