+1 We moved from trac to redmine about a year ago and still are very happy about it. Our non-technical customers can deal with it well. Redmine allows to hide projects and it knows the concept of sub-projects. It's versatile in terms of repositories (mercurial supported) and ticket handling is fine too. Sometimes I miss a more comfortable wiki editor, but that's a minor tradeoff. p@rick -- state of mind () Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563
