Motiro is a tool for tracking software projects. It has borrowed its name from an ancient tupy word meaning a work gathering. Motiro is a time when people get together to collaborate on a common goal such as harvesting food or building houses. I have been working on this little thing for some time now on my spare time. Version 0.4.2 is the seventh release, it features a Subversion front end, an event notification system and a smallish wiki-like language for page edition with support for translation. Motiro is written in Ruby using the Rails framework, so I thought someone here would be interested. If anyone wants to take a look at it (or even help me write the thing), Motiro is self-hosting at: [http://motiro.railsplayground.com](http://motiro.railsplayground.com) A reference to the mailing list can be found inside that page. Source code can be downloaded at the following Source Forge page: > **[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… Motiro is open-source software licensed under the GPL. Do not forget to have fun, Thiago A. ---

Am I understanding right that this is a Trac- > like project? I actually had Trac in mind when I started the project, so the answer to your question would be ‘yes’. But I am aiming for a simpler thing right now. Cheers, Thiago A. ---

Yeah, this sounds interesting. Is there a working demo for us to mess around with? M.T. ---

What I meant was that I wanted to know if there was one that we could play around with… with credentials. I’ll just download it and run it later. I was just curious if there was a sandbox of your app for people to play in. M.T. ---

Oh, sorry. Not yet. ☹ You’ll have to download it and run it yourself for that. Regards, Thiago A. ---

Motiro is currently self-hosting on the address I gave on the original post. That one is a stable (release) version. In case you missed it, the URL is: [http://motiro.railsplayground.com/](http://motiro.railsplayground.com/) The development (most up-to-date) version is available at: [http://thiagoarrais.no-ip.org:3000/](http://thiagoarrais.no-ip.org:3000/) Please note this last link will lead you to a not very well connected server, so you may experience some lag. Finally, if you want to run it yourself, you can always download the source at: [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group\_id=173790](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173790) And the development repository can be found at: > **[Motiro](https://sourceforge.net/projects/motiro/)** > > Download Motiro for free. We are trying to empower developers by building a portal that aggregates a wide range of software development support applications. Everybody should be able to check the project health now and then. (You will need a SSL-enabled Subversion client for that) Cheers, Thiago A. ---
