Vermis - new issue tracker in PHP
in [General]
|
From: Lukasz Cepowski on 3 Oct 2010 05:38 Hello, I would like to introduce the project that I'm working on for a few months :) Project is called Vermis (lat. bug, worm). It is an Open Source issue tracker and project management tool for software developers and project managers that has been created for improving quality of code, efficiency and speed of development. Designed as a standard web application written in PHP, it can be used on almost any platform and hosting service, including Windows, Linux and more. Project is available here http://vermis.diabloware.com The online demo is here http://vermis.diabloware.com/demo The long term goal is to compete with commercial products like Jira and other open source software like Trac, Redmine, Mantis, Bugzilla etc. Vermis is being distributed under terms of GNU General Public License, so you can use it both in open and closed source projects. Why Vermis exists? - Jira has a lot of features but it is hard to use, and first of all it is a commercial software - Redmine needs RoR which is resource consuming - Trac needs Python - Bugzilla needs Perl - Mantis, hmm i just didn't like it ;) Why Vermis is better than the other products? - Vermis is written in PHP and uses MySQL, which is probably the most widespread and the cheapest web platform nowadays - It doesn't require any additional software on a hosting server (except mod_rewrite which is also very popular) - Currently it has similar functionalities lika Jira - It growns very fast :) What Vermis already has? - Multiple projects in one place - Web access from any place on Earth - Public and private projects - Many types of issues - Components - Milestones - Versioning and the history of changes - Dynamic grids (issue navigator) - Many user accounts - Online registration - Notes - File upload - Comments - Progress bars - Email notifications What Vermis will have? - API via SOAP or REST - Graphical reporting - Burndown charts - Agile support (Scrum) - Custom issue types, priorities, statuses, etc - Dynamic access control list - Automatic collecting reports from the external applications - Wrappers for PHP, Java, C# - many more ;) I'm inviting to watch, test and use Vermis. Since version 1.0 RC3 Vermis is its own bugtracker, which is available at http://bugs.diabloware.com The latest source code you can download from http://vermis.diabloware.com/download Any questions you can post at the official project's forum which is at http://forum.diabloware.com I'm looking forward for any feedback, comments and critique :) Thanks, Lukasz (cepa) Cepowski DiabloWare :: Software from Hell! www.diabloware.com | www.cepowski.pl skype: lukasz.cepowski cell: +48 502 670 711

The way you've got the name of the bug in the URL is good also, which is very different to how Mantis and Bugzilla do it. There was one slight issue I found with the search feature. I added a bug called 'new bug 3rd Sept 2010', but when I searched for the words 'new bug' (without quotes) it wasn't found. Also, when I tried putting quotes around the two words in the search box, the quote marks were escaped back into the search box value as \'new bug\' Aside from that, it all looks good, and I look forward to being able to use it in the future.
