saparviaHey all, I hacked together a site where you can get a free hosted Mantis bug tracker. Good when your code host does not provide issue tracking.03:41
saparviaDo you think people would be interested in something like this?03:41
saparviahttp://itsabug.org03:41
dhx1saparvia: nice idea04:11
dhx1saparvia: to give you some more ideas, perhaps create a number of configurations users can choose from04:12
dhx1depending on their development method(s)04:13
dhx1Agile, Waterfall, whatever04:13
saparviadhx1: Hmm... I guess I would have to be familiar with that to be able to make the initial setup :-)04:13
dhx1saparvia: the best thing seems to be "enter your details into just 4 boxes, submit, and away you go"04:13
dhx1saparvia: that's very good usability and if I was interested in setting up a bug tracker, something I'd appreciate when testing what is available04:14
saparviaBasically I just make a copy of an existing Mantis install, so it would be trivial to add the functionality to have some preconfigured options.04:14
saparviaLess trivial to actually make those configurations04:14
dhx1yep04:14
dhx1right04:14
saparviaI also thought about adding option for other bug trackers, but there doesn't seem to be that many good, open source ones04:15
saparviaBugzilla is the other option04:15
saparviaOthers seem to be updated less frequently04:15
saparviaso they might be a security risk04:15
dhx1saparvia: the main ones I'd look at are Redmine, Trac, Bugzilla and MantisBT... I don't see open source projects use other stuff too often04:16
dhx1there is a little bit of a move towards Github's bug tracking system, if basic functionality is all you need04:16
saparviaRedmine and Trac are maybe a bit too heavy since they include wiki, code hosting etc.04:17
saparviaWould require more server resources04:17
dhx1yep04:17
saparviaThis is currently running on a cheap VPS04:17
dhx1that's the best way to start out04:18
dregadthe bug tracking part of trac, is really bare-bones - I dumped it long ago in favor of mantis ;-)04:19
dregad@dhx, if you get a chance, please provide your feedback on http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=1340604:20
dhx1dregad: hi, will do04:21
dregadthanks04:21
dhx1I didn't like Trac either04:21
dregadIMO the only thing that can compete with mantis is Jira - but it's not free04:22

saparviaMantis can be a bit complicated (since it's also quite powerful). Is there any beginners guide or is the full administration guide the only thing?08:00
dregadsaparvia, are you volunteering to write (and maintain) a beginner's guide ? :-P08:02
dregadto my knowledge, the admin guide is the only thing there is, and it's even not 100% complete or up-to-date08:02
