I’ve been looking around at the various options for project management software. My experiences started with Bugzilla, meandered around various proprietary solutions and eventually landed on Trac. For the longest while, Trac did everything I needed it to. That is, until I discovered Redmine.

Features that Redmine comes with out of the box

• A clear and malleable issue tracking system
• Multiple projects, each with access role settings
• Per-project forums and wikis
• Repository integration with Subversion and Git

Of the other packages I looked at (JIRA, Fogbugz et all), none of them provided the same intuitive interface. Maybe it’s because I’m coming from a Trac background, but Redmine was effortless to step into. If you haven’t given it a shot, I highly recommend it.
