Group Programming Projects – Step 2

Group Programming Projects

It seems we do have a few people on board for starting some group projects, which is great! Now we need to get all our ducks in a row.

So I have been looking at various ways to go about it thanks to the comments and suggestions.

I was not so happy with the idea of Google Code and SourceForge. Both worked okay but the idea is that we work as a BlueFur community and eventually bring more into the fold that are members of our community.

So now I am left with a decision.

We can go with Trac which does seem like a very good solution. I am not sure how well Trac will scale for more then one project. Has anyone used Trac enough to know how well it works for more then 1 project?

The other way we can go is to create our own tool with a Wiki, Mailing List, Bug Tracker, RSS feed built into it. This may take more time to build but in the end it will be ours and we can modify as needed.

As this is going to be something used as a group I will open it up to you to comment and provide your feedback on these to ways to go.

  • The problem with making our own, would be having the same login across all the tools. Unless, you mean actually make those tools?

    If not, I think we should go with Trac. It’s easy to use, works well (proven by WordPress.org) and has mostly everything we need (including RSS feeds).

    MailMan for the mailing list will work. It’s simple, and works.
