Been using Redmine for about a year now in conjunction with Eclipse and the TaskTop plugin. works well and for me is WAY better than Trac which in my experience was endlessly buggy and just painful. I have to agree that the Redmine community seems to move a little slowly, and is very rubycentric, but for now, and for me, I’m happy.

Hi Friends,
I need to implement issue tracking tool in integration with Visual SVN Server for multiple independent projects. I have two options trec and redmine. Can experts suggest.

Just been using the latest release for a couple of weeks at the startup I’m working for and I could say the product has matured a lot since last year.

Just a small update:

The redmine forums have been moved to redmine.org 4 days after your post:

http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=23105&forum_id=7504

I can understand your concerns about the seemingly slow process but my gut feeling from lurking at the forums is that they’re (slowly) accelerating.

As a happy redmine user for over a year I must say I’m fairly satisfied overall. I have not yet stumbled into a single bug (can you maybe cite one?)
so it has been smooth sailing.

The big deal with redmine for me is the UI and ticket-system. I curse trac every time I have to search for a ticket or, god-forbid, just want to follow up a ticket that I submitted myself. I find the redmine UI and search much more usable in these regards.

I’ve been writing a bit about Trac and Redmine lately. For approximately the 1/3 of the publically-available software that I’ve written, I maintain a Trac site for it at software.complete.org. This 1/3 is generally the third that has the most interest f

You can find Redmine at http://www.redmine.org.

It is probably not yet suited for Debian packaging due to an insufficient insulation between code and configuration. However, it does have a lot of promise and it would be great to have you (or others) participating there.

well, for what it’s worth – I’d never heard about redmine. If you’d package it for Debian I’m sure it would get a bit more users behind it – which in turn would pull some developers and community in too.

Considering I was considering developing something similar to Trac as it wasn’t fulfilling my needs, I’m going to try to help Redmine out instead. (I deal with lots of projects, and trying to connect separate Trac’s together ended up being more trouble than it’s worth; I also need some timesheet system)

I hope you’ll package it for Debian, but even if you don’t I’m glad you pointed me in the way of Redmine.
