I’m looking for a free/open source collaborative project manager that can be deployed internally in my workplace that would act similar to Codeplex or Sourceforge. Does anyone know of something like this, and if so do you have experience with it.
Requirements:
- Open Source or Free
- Locally Deployable
- Has the same types of features found in Sourceforge / Codeplex
- Issue/Feature Tracking
- Community Interaction (ie. Voting, Roles, etc.)
- SCM Integration (Optional)
- .NET/Windows Friendly (Optional)
Every business ends up having internal utilities, and domain specific apps that developers create to make life easier. Given the input of the internal developer community they have the potential to become much better (can you say GMail…), and I would simply like to foster such an environment internally by providing an easy place for that interaction to take place.
UPDATE:
So I like what I am seeing in both Trac and GForge, but both are heavily geared towards UNIX/Subversion environments. I should have specified this, but we are a MS shop from top to bottom. How practical do you think it is going to be to try and use these in a MS .NET environment? Would that be like trying to shove a square peg through a round hole?
I like redmine for this: http://www.redmine.org. The only thing it’s missing from your criteria is voting, but there might even be a plugin for this.
Trac is also popular (http://trac.edgewall.org) but it lacks suport for aggregation of data across projects.
