After many months of deliberation, choosing TRAC plugins, subversion authentication mechanisms, and other stuff, we have come to a conclusion!
First of all, we no longer use TRAC. Sorry to say this to the guys at Edgewall – TRAC does kick ass. But, it does SUCK at maintaining multiple projects. We have evaluated many plugins. They are all crap. Sorry, no offence to the guys making them. TRAC simply is NOT designed for multiple projects
Enter the stage: Redmine!
So it is writtten in Ruby, on rails. As a kid, rails and railways ruled my daily schedule. What about now? Ruby on Rails kicks ass – and not my ass I must add! Thx @rubyonrails! You guys are awesome.
Ok, so we do not know the language it is made with. Actually similar to TRAC – remember anyone excited to work themselves into Clearsilver, Genshi and NEON? Nope. Nope. Nope!
Learning Ruby does work out to be fun. It ain’t quite as cool as Java. But, for a dynamically typed language, it is quite structured, and after doing the tutorials 1-4 I do kick ass as a Ruby Ninja (hey, please DO protect me in combat!)
Now that the forge is up, be agile, be quick, be nimble and tell me anything that did not work…..
Keep busy! Felix
