I actually love the idea of ditz -- I've played around with ticgit [2] which uses a very similar concept -- but it doesn't work well for people who are users but not developers. With ticgit at least, people cloning and forking the repos would get the tickets too, and could issue pull requests to update tickets. I think quite a few people submitting tickets fall into that category, so I don't want to lose them. Lighthouse *does* now have free accounts for OSS projects, and I set one up to test if anyone wants to take a look around[3]. I vaguely remember some mention of GitHub getting a simple ticketing system, but perhaps with Lighthouse opening up to OSS, they won't go down that road. Anyway, I'll look at Redmine and Retrospectiva and see what would be best. It needs to integrate well with git/github of course, and since we've already got a wiki and a way of browsing the source and changesets, it doesn't need to be very complex. At first glance, Redmine looks brilliant, but is much more than we need. cheers, bsag -- but she's a girl - the weblog of a female geek http://www.rousette.org.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2] http://github.com/schacon/ticgit/tree/master [3] http://tracks.lighthouseapp.com/projects/11609-tracks/overview _______________________________________________ Tracks-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rousette.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tracks-discuss
