Motiro is a project tracking tool written in Ruby using Rails. It finally made to version 0.5. This is the ninth release and includes the first draft for the ‘Planned features’ news channel, a way to publish what the development team is working on. This little embryo is supposed to turn into a feature tracking and voting system in the near future. The next addition is an old request: someway to add new users. Results were pretty good on this area. Registration is very simple, you won’t need to fill a big form, you won’t need to give your email address and you won’t even need to leave the main page to sign up. Just check the ‘New user’ box and pick yourself a username and a password. Now that people can sign themselves up, access control was improved for wiki pages editing. Each page’s original author can name who, besides herself, is allowed to edit it. Anyone interested in seeing the live system, can jump to Motiro’s Motiro (no it is not a typo: any wannabe development tool is used on its own development): [http://motiro.railsplayground.com](http://motiro.railsplayground.com) Maybe you as rubysts will be interested also on the source. Even if you don’t mean to host your own Motiro, you may want to learn something (not that I have much to teach, but you can try). The application is shipped under GPL. Licensing details inside the package (I promise you won’t be breaking any law just by downloading the thing): > **[Motiro - Browse Files at SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/motiro/files/)** > > We are trying to empower developers by building a portal that aggregates a wide range of software development support applications. Everybody should… Do not forget to have fun! Thiago A.
