Redmine/ChiliProject: software project management for [almost-]dummies


If you are looking for a nice and simple yet powerful project management software, I would invite you towards Redmine. It is a Ruby on Rails -based project with many modules covering the usual tasks needed:

  1. Multi-projects support including sub-projects
  2. Bug-Tracking System (BTS) to create and manage issues with notifications, levels, priorities and stuff
  3. Wiki
  4. Documents and files
  5. Forums
  6. Repository management module (with support for most VCS — Hg, git, svn and more)
  7. even with a time tracking module

It can display calendar-based or Gantt-bases diagrams for upcoming versions

You can link issues to VCS revisions, wiki pages and documents. All this with a nice and configurable interface. My development site is using it, have a look!

Recommended!

UPDATE: there has been a fork of the Redmine project due to internal tensions inside the development team, some people arguing that development has slowed down and that quality has degraded somewhat. Eric Davis (@edavis10 on Twitter) and a few others have created ChiliProject and `dev.keltia.net` will move over to ChiliProject soon.
