Redmine

A long-established, flexible project management and issue tracking web application built on Ruby on Rails.

Upvote

Redmine is a veteran project management system that handles several projects and sub-projects within one installation. Each project can have its own issue tracker, wiki, forums, files, news and time tracking, and permissions are controlled through roles, so different teams or clients only see what they should.

Flexible by design

Issue types, statuses, workflows and custom fields are all configurable, which lets it fit anything from software bug tracking to helpdesk-style requests. A Gantt chart and calendar give a schedule view, and repository integration links commits to the tickets they relate to. A mature plugin and theme ecosystem adds features without touching core code.

  • Multi-project support with role-based access control
  • Gantt chart, calendar and roadmap views
  • Time tracking and spent-time reports
  • Integration with Git, Subversion and other version control
  • Email-in issue creation and notifications

It is released under the GPL (version 2) and runs on a standard Ruby on Rails stack with a SQL database.
