We use Redmine[1] here which is very nice and flexible. What I do is
that I read the tasks from Redmine into org-mode using org-feed.el[2]. I
have not had the time to implement a way to push my changes back to
redmine. This should be doable as Redmine has a RESTful interface. John
Wiegeley has shown a way to push back data to Bugzilla[3].

Hope that helps
Christian

Here[1] is a blog post that outlines how to use Emacs to show issues from a
Roundup Bugtracker in Orgmode.

I have not tried it yet but it looks awesome. Reading the comments could
lead to an easier solution, too.

Roundup http://www.roundup-tracker.org/> is a self-contained issue
tracker that communicates via web and email interfaces, and is quite
extensively customisable.

I don't know of any issue trackers that integrate with Org mode in any
way. You could start with having Emacs send automatically-composed email
messages to Roundup in response to your actions in Org mode, and perhaps
later look at more customised integration.

[O] [semi-OT] issue trackers?

2011-05-05 Thread Matt Price
Hi everyone,

I'm collaborating on a project where I'm starting to feel the need for a
shared issue tracker.  Anyone have any suggestions? I have my own server
(running ubuntu maverick, so pretty up-to-date), and can install pretty well
whatever I want there.  I'd love something that integrates with org-mode
somehow, but my collaborators are definitively NOT emacs users.  I just
started a project on google code, but that doesn't seem quite right -- for
one thing, we're not _really_ doing much coding, and for another ,some of
the issues should contain private notes -- e.g. phone numbers and emails of
people we need to ask for help or information.  It wasn't immediately
apparent to me that privacy fetures like that exist on google code.

Anyway, thanks!
Matt
