Poject & Source Code Management

Post by jnewing »

First off I wasn't really 100% sure where to post this so I am posting it here in hopes that it's right. If not my apologies.

I have been developing small php / sql applications for some time now and have been up to this point been using SVN to control code and Copper to keep tracker of the projects "todos" but hate the fact that I have to use two applications to do this. I have been looking for software that does all of the following things.

- Project Management (Simple todos, bug tracking)
- Controls Source Code (for versioning, and collaborative editing with another developer, so we don't over write each others work)

I can't seem to find any software that does both of these things?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Trac combines SVN, Tickets/Tracking, a Timeline and a Wiki into one system. You still need SVN installed though.

NOTE: Trac is written in Python but can be run standalone or under your web server.

I've never understood why most X developers only want to use products that have been made with X. I find that implementing with php is a best a serious pita.

Hmmmm...not sure I follow 110% but...

Some applications are best left for other languages...

For instance, the web technologies of today are simply not ready to emulate a full blown IDE. So PHP and JS wouldn't make for a good platform to develop such a tool? Most general applications are awesome in web based technologies, but real time or complex software is best left for the desktop environment...

I think that is what your getting at, so in that case I agree obviously :P

Project management, is somehting that IMHO would best be done in PHP and maybe some desktop extension tools for ease of use purposes...but the bulk of it could be done in PHP/Js...why not? :)
