Redmine
This week, I installed Redmine to provide ticket tracking and documentation services for our web site, computers, life in the apartment, and other things. So far, I’ve been rather pleased with it.
Redmine is an integrated project manager combining an issue/bug tracker, wiki, document manager, and source repository viewer aimed at managing software projects. It’s rather similar to (and probably heavily inspired by) Trac. I’ve long had an affinity for Trac, and in some ways like it better, but Trac does not support multiple projects. Redmine does. This is fairly crucial for us; it lets us have the web site, computing infrastructure, and apartment each as their own project with their own sets (and types) of trackers while allowing us to view all open tickets in a unified view. With stock Trac, we would need to check multiple instances to see all our open tasks.
