As discussed recently elsewhere, this is unlikely to happen any time soon. Therefore, Ague benchmarked Redmine (thank you) against a list of actions that I felt were needed for usage without a web browser -- that may be offline usage, or for those of us who simply like it better this way. So, I think we should now evaluate and discuss the results [1], and decide whether we feel it's good enough. Let's go. I'm only quoting and discussing the limitations.

This drawback can be seen as a welcome incentive to split tickets and bind them using the parent/child tickets relationship, instead of having a single big ticket with several "next thing to do" in it. So, I'll personally consider this limitation is an advantage ;) > * parent task → **Unsupported**. This will be a pain for usecases such as splitting a big ticket into smaller ones, or adding a "next step" child ticket. > [...] > * Related issues → **Unsupported**. I think I can live with that. > - delete a ticket (spam...) → **Unsupported**. I think I can live with that. > - subscribe to a ticket over email or RSS/Atom **OK** I've verified the Atom feed's URL is easy to guess from the ticket ID, so I think this is good enough. To sum up, only one drawback seems really painful for me. IMHO, this is greatly compensated with the advantages to switching to a better task manager, so I think it's certainly good enough. What about you?
