Hej  
We are in need of a ticketing/issue handling system to hande multiple  
customers.

I downloaded SimpleTIckets but it does not seem to be complete.

I wonder if anyone knows of any other open source project with this  
focus. (Simple, not too advanced),

Thanks!

Per-Olof

mantis, but it’s php and not ruby (remember, always choose the right  
tool for the task).

I’ve found Trac ([http://trac.edgewall.com/](http://trac.edgewall.com/)) to be the best system for  
tickets and source browsing. It’s python based, but really easy to  
setup and get going with your SVN repository (assuming you’re using  
svn).

There’s also Collaboa and Retrospectiva which is fork of Collaboa but  
like an earlier poster I use Trac too.

I haven’t used it, but redmine looks interesting… it has a lot of  
extra  
project stuff built in, but it all looked fairly simple (at least the  
screenshots 🙂 Also has svn browsing too…

Replying to my own post I just ran across another Rails issue tracking  
system called Devalot:

[http://software.pmade.com/devalot](http://software.pmade.com/devalot)

and here are the links to the other two for the lazy:

If I’m not wrong, Retrospectiva doesn’t interface with Subversion on  
Windows since there are no Ruby bindings for Subversion on Windows. If  
you’re using Windows, trac may be a better option.

hi,

ORTS ([www.otrs.org](http://www.otrs.org)) should do the job. I think it’s the most used  
opensource  
ticket system. It’s written in Perl.
