I've been using Trac a lot recently and there are some things that I really like about it:
1. It has nice integration with source control systems (primarily SVN, but there's a Git plugin). You can easily tie tickets to specific changesets and/or branches 2. Decent monitoring for tickets. There's the standard "add my email as a CC", but you can also do RSS feeds on the tickets. I agree with Kris' suggestion that it would be nice to have good mailing list support 3. Simplicity. Some other bug trackers I've seen may be really powerful, but they're also extremely complex and/or not well organized. A powerful bug tracker is useless if it's not easy to use 4. Plugins. Trac has a good plugin system for extendin functionality Derek On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 5:38 PM, David Pollak <[email protected]>wrote: > Folks, > > I'm please to announce my latest open source project: Swampland. > http://github.com/dpp/swampland/tree/master > > Swampland is a bug/issue tracking system built on Lift.
