    Hey All, A while back I posted a question about open source version control software. I got a lot of great feedback, thanks for all the good responses. Our workflow now includes SVN for version control (with Tortoise SVN on the client side), MSBuild for building stuff, and CruiseControl.net for Continuous integration (still working on getting the last two set up). We are currently using Outlook for issue tracking, ie lots of emails back and forth, etc. I notice things tend to get lost easily this way. Surely, someone has had some experience with a simple open source/free issue stracking setup. Just looking for something basica that will allow us to track issues, assign priorities, assign a developer to an issue, etc. Anybody have suggestions? Thanks! Aaron

        We use Gemini as well so it gets my vote, but bear in mind it isn't actually open source. You'll also need a machine running IIS and SQL server too, although you should be able to deploy it on SQL Server 2005 Express.

            So many choices . . . I'm not even sure really what I should be looking for when comparing one against the other. Bugzilla does have a cool tshirt, though . . .

                Trac (http://www.edgewall.com/trac/[^]) is excellent - we're using it on 3 projects here at work. It's open source, and is based primarily on Python and Apache (other http servers too, but I've found Apache route to be easiest to get up and running on a Windows machine). It includes a Wiki and subversion repository integration. For instance, in the 'fix' comment for a ticket, you can provide a link to the Subversion checkin set that included the fix to that ticket. Clicking on that link will bring up a nicely formatted diff of the files in that checkin set. Pretty cool stuff.

                  Far from excellent - too simplistic and lacking basic customization features. But it is simple to use and integrates well with SVN

                        Try Mantis. Free, php/mysql (or some other databases), simpler to use than bugzilla, easy to install (bugzilla is a pita), has a lot of features. Also can integrate with subversion using Scmbug. Highly recommended.

                            I'm not doubting you. Actually, great minds think alike. In order to get to know SQL Server Express, I started development on my own Project Management database. I haven't finished adding everything yet, and I don't have any web pages to interact with it, but it is coming along nicely. However, there are too many out there for it to pose a challenge to anyone. Maybe Microsoft or Google will see us as threats and purchase our products. <insert>Wishful thinking.</insert> :-D "If only one person knows the truth, it is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi Web - Blog - RSS - Math
