[Xerte-dev] Re: Trac

[Tom Reijnders]

Sounds good to me too.

I don't have experience with any of the products you mentioned, but the 
principles are familiar. I think 'agile' would be a very suitable 
development methodology for Xerte.

In the past I've been using Trello (www.trello.com), but Agilo for Trac 
looks much completer.

Do you want me to host it on the community server? Or are you going to 
host it in Nottingham?

Our developer community has really picked up over the last twelve months (http://www.ohloh.net/p/xerteproject). We are looking at a more robust development process than the one we currently use (which is a bit like the cross your fingers, shut your eyes and hope for the best!).

Basically, they are using it to manage a SCRUM approach to development, with tickets either being bugs / issues, or new feature requests. The tickets are then organised into a roadmap, and a series of code sprints. I think we need to do something to make our development process easier to manage and keep track of issues, and we keep talking about potential new features but don't always write them down anywhere?
