Just adding to that, I've used fossil for a few small projects (not entirely code) and I've been quite impressed with it. The integrated wiki and ticketing *is* a bit light, so you may run into trouble if you're trying to do anything that a more dedicated wiki or tracker does (or if you want to extend functionality). It's also worth mentioning that that there is a free github-like hosting service for fossil over at http://chiselapp.com. I've not personally used it, but it is mentioned on the fossil website. -Fweeb _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
