Hi Marcus, You probably should look at Redmine and Chiliproject hosting. These two are open source web-based project management software (actually the latter being a fork of the second).
A french developers community offers free hosting for open source project.: http://projets.developpez.com/ I have not tried it but the site has a good reputation. *You might be able to switch to English language once subscribed *. I am using the free plan from plan.io <http://plan.io/en/> (redmine hosting saas offer), but it is quite limited if your project is large: free plan Bronze <https://accounts.plan.io/signup/Bronze?locale=en>: 1 project, 2 users, 1 workflow and 500MB storage You can find other providers, just google around. Another software option is openerp <http://www.openerp.com/>, which has project management features. You can try a demo here: http://demo.openerp.com/ You should also google to find companies hosting the tool. Hope this helps, Mehdi On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 7:05 PM, Wordit <[email protected]> wrote: > Off-topic question, although the project will use CouchDB :-) > (Google hasn't found anything satisfactory yet) > > Can anyone recommend a project management service which is free for > Open Source, and easy for non-programmers to use as well? > > I need to build a website for a new FOSS project.
