Hi Marcel, We are using the GitLab API (with PHP + a local MySQL DB). The GitLab API is described here:
https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/tree/master/doc/api There's also a bit of hackery that involves using issue labels to maintain the status and type of issue. This works for us, but in a larger environment or one where you don't trust users not to mangle issue labels (on the GitLab side) this could be a problem for you. I'm sort of planning to move this away from Gitlabs issue labels being a source of this status, and instead having ScrumGUI be the source (E.g. if it were changed on GitLab side, ScrumGUI would correct it again via the API) - Jay On Thursday, August 14, 2014 4:39:48 AM UTC-7, Marcel Steves wrote: > > Hello Jayinthebay, > > your project sounds very interesting and I think there will be a lot of > people who like it, too. > > But one question: > How do you implement it?
