Does anyone know what software Ruby uses for the bug/requests/patches trackers? It’s pretty slick (way better than Trac imo) and I was just wondering software it is. Is it internal to RF or is it available for people to download and use? Pat ---

I’m having trouble figuring out if it’s free or not. Seems like the app itself is free, but you can purchase licenses? Basically what I’d like to do is be able to set up a couple different projects and have a couple trackers, just like a rubyforge project would. Though we probably won’t have more than 15 users or 5 projects or so. Would GForge be good for this? Is there any other open source software I should take a look at? Pat ---

Yup, there’s a GPL’d version and a commercial version. And I think GForgeGroup will sell support contracts for the GPL’d version, too. > Basically what I’d like to do is be able to set up a couple different > projects and have a couple trackers, just like a rubyforge project > would.

GForge is a bit of a hassle to set up; lots of moving parts. But once it’s up and running it’s quite handy… Yours, Tom ---

I know just from the UI and user experience level, Trac seems a whole lot nicer then gforge does. I’ve only use trac for actual project tracking, though, and only know gforge through a few bug reports and searching. - Rob ---

I’ve played around a little with Collaboa, which is Rails-based, but I don’t know how active a project it is. Most of the rest of the software project tools have either PHP or Python under the hood, so if you have to dig, there could be a language barrier. 🙂 What I have listed in Gentoo is - www-apps/phpcollab Latest version available: 2.5\_rc3 Latest version installed: [Not Installed] Unstable version: 2.5\_rc3 Use Flags (stable): -vhosts Size of downloaded files: 4,038 kB Homepage: [http://php-collab.com/](http://php-collab.com/) Description: phpCollab is an open-source internet-enabled collaboration workspace for project teams License: GPL-2 - www-apps/phprojekt Latest version available: 5.1.2 Latest version installed: [Not Installed] Unstable version: 5.1.2 Use Flags (stable): -mysql -postgres -vhosts Size of downloaded files: 6,104 kB Homepage: [http://www.phprojekt.com/](http://www.phprojekt.com/) Description: Project management and coordination system License: GPL-2 - www-apps/trac Latest version available: 0.10.3 Latest version installed: [Not Installed] Unstable version: 0.10.3 Use Flags (stable): +cgi +enscript +fastcgi -mysql -postgres +silvercity +sqlite -vhosts Size of downloaded files: 1,291 kB Homepage: [http://trac.edgewall.com/](http://trac.edgewall.com/) Description: Trac is a minimalistic web-based project management, wiki and bug/issue tracking system.
