    Folks,

    I'm looking for a good OSS option for tracking a web software development. Specifically to be able to track progress against releases (each release comprised of a number of items/issues/features) which means I can then show a roadmap.

    I've looked at http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ which is impressive to say the least, but it does seem to require a lot of installation and configuration, along with multiple other components. I've seen this in use over at http://trac.wordpress.org and it looks great - but I've read the install/configu requirements and it's a bit of a beast.

    I'm after something a bit less complex if possible.

    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    Yeah CVS is a really popular. I'm on work placement programming and doing Oracle geospatial stuff. I'd be lost only for CVS

    Also, sourceforge.net use CVS if I am right?

    I was actually looking for something a little 'lighter' if you get my drift. CVS and Subversion and all those other options seem to require a dedicated server (or at least dedicated server access at root level) in order to install/set them up.

    I'm currently operating on a shared hosted environment so I don't have that kind of access. Any other suggestions?

    If it does not need to handle Source Control and is a simple Project Management tool take a look at dotproject

    This is simple and works for us.

    Just needs MySQL and PHP. If your host can't do it for you send me a message and we can setup a version for you.

    Do you have a link to an online demo of 'mantis' by any chance? I didn't see one at that website

    if you look at the projects own bug/feature page you can see Mantis in action


    We've been using it in my group for a year or so now and we find it fantastic.

    Thanks for the link. I've looked it over but I had something with more of a roadmap/timeline functionality in mind. I don't just want to keep track of the individual bugs/enhancements/feature requests.. I want to link them to milestone releases and track their progress - similar to the way the trac product does it - if at all possible.
