Redmine

You can easily implement this as wiki macros, for example {{IssueDetails(<issue_id>)}} within a simple plugin.

init.rb:

require 'redmine'

Redmine::WikiFormatting::Macros.register do
  desc "Issue Description Macro" 
  macro :IssueDetails do |obj, args|
    args, options = extract_macro_options(args, :parent)
    if args.size == 1
      issue = Issue.find args.first
      "#{issue.id} - #{issue.project} - #{issue.subject} / #{issue.status}" 
    else
      raise 'No or bad arguments.'
    end
  end
end 

Or even:

require 'redmine'

Redmine::WikiFormatting::Macros.register do
  desc "Issues List Description Macro" 
  macro :IssuesList do |obj, args|
    args, options = extract_macro_options(args, :parent)
    if args.size >= 1
      Issue.find(args).collect{|issue| link_to_issue(issue) +  ": #{issue.project} - #{issue.subject} / #{issue.status}" } * "<br>" 
    else
      raise 'No or bad arguments.'
    end
  end
end

Thank you! That is the perfect example code. Now I just need to know where to put it...

From other posts, it looks like I need to make a subdirectory like: REDMINE/lib/plugins/issue_description_macro, then put init.rb in there?

.. do I need to restart my mongerels or anything to make it start showing up?

Just create directory in redmine/vendor/plugins, put there init.rb and restart mongrel of course.
I have attached test code that works well on my Redmine instance
