[edit] Launchpad

Homepage:	http://launchpad.net/
Description:	Collaboration, project management and code hosting for free software
License:	Hosted only, apparently? ("The Launchpad team offers a managed migration service for open source projects using any Launchpad tool")

About Launchpad (http://launchpad.net/+about). Retrieved on 2007-05-11 11:18.

Code

Make all your project's code accessible, wherever it's hosted on the internet.

Bugs

Track and solve bugs, whether they occur upstream, downstream or directly in your code.

Blueprints

Develop, implement and track the progress of your software's features.

Translations

Cut the time it takes to translate your software.

Answers

Build a community support team and turn their answers into a searchable knowledge-base.

About Launchpad

Launchpad takes a new approach to free software project management and hosting. It helps you to work more effectively with other communities to solve common problems, such as shared bugs.

Such conversations have traditionally been difficult between communities using different tools. Launchpad brings those communities closer together by linking information from project-specific sources and presenting it through a common interface.

Launchpad also helps you to build your project's community. Spontaneous team formation allows rich community structures to develop quickly and lowers the barriers for new participants.

Created for Ubuntu, and now also used by Zope, Creative Commons and Silva CMS, Launchpad is secure, reliable and managed by a dedicated team of experienced developers and administrators. It takes just a few minutes to add your project and there's free migration support for open source projects.

[edit] redMine

http://rubyforge.org/projects/redmine/

redMine is a project management web application: issues tracking, news, documents and files management. Written using Ruby on Rails framework

[edit] Trac

Homepage:	http://trac.edgewall.org/
Implementation language:	Python

Interesting idea:

"Having a network of links between issues/bugs/tasks, code changes and wiki text makes the big-picture perspective of a project truly accessible at any time, and it becomes easy to quickly get up-to-speed."

Welcome to Auctioneer's Issue Tracking

We've decided to ditch SourceForge as a management platform and go with Trac instead as a more versatile solution to the issue tracking problem.

We now have a proper wiki[MediaWiki] replacing the one found here on trac.

[edit] Unfuddle

Homepage:	http://unfuddle.com/home
Environment:	Hosted only

Fear not - your data will always be YOURS.

You don't have to worry about having your data locked into proprietary formats when using Unfuddle. You are always free to download a comprehensive archive of your project at any time. This archive contains a full dump of your Subversion repository, an XML file containing all of your project data as well as any attachments you may have uploaded. Open Source Underneath

We believe strongly in the power and stability of open source software and practices. Unfuddle is built upon a firm foundation of open source software. We are proud to say that we use and support the following open source products.

Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails has taken the web and our hearts by storm. It is a web development framework pioneered by the great folks of 37signals.

Subversion

Subversion is a tried and true version control system designed to replace CVS. It has become the de facto standard for new open and closed source projects.

And yet your own software isn't even released/developed as an open-source product! I like the hypocrisy there. I can tell you really believe in open-source. Sweet.

[edit] Retrospectiva

• http://www.retrospectiva.org/
• http://retrospectiva.org/wiki/Retrospectiva

http://retrospectiva.org/wiki/Introduction

Retrospectiva is an open source, web-based, project management and bug-tracking tool. It is intended to assist the collaborative aspect of work carried out by software development teams through the use of blogs, a wiki and tickets.

Users open tickets to track bugs, and request enhancements. Administrators set targets for the team through milestones. A milestone is considered completed when all tickets assigned to it are closed. The wiki is used for the documentation of the project, whilst the blog logs ongoing progress. When used in conjunction, these tools provide a helpful framework for developing and maintaining source code. The generated code can be browsed directly in Retrospectiva, and changesets record updates made to the source repository.

[edit] Who's using it/comments/testimonials

http://retrospectiva.org/wiki/Who+is+using+Retrospectiva

• We are using Retrospectiva as a bug tracking system and project management tool for our project. We chose to use it over Trac, Mantis or Jira, because it is free, intuitive, easy to manage and it have built-in link for subversion repository browsing and changeset viewing. Thanks a lot for this tool.
• We are using Retrospectiva to keep track of our internally developed projects at the Artificial Intelligence Group at the Saarland University -gogo
• We are using Retrospectiva for our Ruby Users Group to keep track of our Teach-In topics. Also, we wanted to use a wiki based on Rails in order to track [of] tips for starting a new business. If we develop a coding team it is likely we will use it for coding projects. -Ken http://www.rubydc.org
• Finsignia, an agile software development firm, is using Retrospectiva to help collaboration on our internal and client projects. Some projects are still using Trac, but we are in the process of migrating to Retrospectiva for older projects as well as the new ones going forward. -Susan Potter
• Using to manage small, in-house projects as an alternative to Trac, which I’ve used since 2006. The Blog is what sold me on Retrospectiva over Collaboa and Trac. Other positives are the multiple-project capabilities, and the ease of administration and use. -Don
