For openEHR, Atlassian hosted solution JiraStudio (not open source) may be worth considering since it solves the problem of physical hosting without (in theory) causing much disruption, since all the tools are the same - Confluence, Jira (particularly) and SVN.
Atlassian bitbucket (completely separate from Atlassian mainstream hosted tools) uses Mercurial, a better DVCS than SVN, but its issue tracking etc is minimal. For the price of more disruption, Github would be one place to go, and it is probably the best DVCS there is (it was designed based on the BitKeeper solution we used to use in openEHR). How good the project tracking tools are I don't know, but they are claimed to be good. The main thing that is needed is integrated DVCS, project / issue tracking (with configurable workflows, security etc), wiki, mailing lists and continuous build server. Whether having everything open source is fundamentally important is debatable - in principle it is nicer, but I am more interested in getting work done efficiently, not battling tools that are in early development (certainly my experience with most free issue tracking systems - maybe the Git one is better). - thomas On 16/09/2011 09:29, Ian McNicoll wrote: > Hi Tim, > > > Can you give some examples of good open-source tools in this area? > > Ian > > Dr Ian McNicoll > office +44 (0)1536 414 994 > fax +44 (0)1536 516317 > mobile +44 (0)775 209 7859 > skype ianmcnicoll > ian.mcnicoll at oceaninformatics.com > > Clinical Modelling Consultant, Ocean Informatics, UK > openEHR Clinical Knowledge Editor www.openehr.org/knowledge > Honorary Senior Research Associate, CHIME, UCL > BCS Primary Health Care www.phcsg.org > > > > > On 16 September 2011 00:09, Timothy Cook<timothywayne.cook at gmail.com> > wrote: >> Well, maybe you should consider real open source tools. >> >> >> >> On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 16:34, Sam Heard<sam.heard at oceaninformatics.com> >> wrote: >>> Dear All >>> >>> The Board is interested in using tools for collaborative online working and >>> keeping these coordinated.
