These don't sound like "main" > features of a bug tracking app. APIs for bug insertion, deletion, reporting, etc. is not far off from a core product. Especially in web 2.0 land nowadays. We have multiple installations of bugzilla and other tracking mechanisms in and outside of the company feeding off each other, with no clean interfaces. Of course there are hundreds of generic "bug tracking" programs out there. Anyone with a PHP book can make one. We'd like to align with an "industry standard" type one, or one with an active community, but there is no real big one I am aware of other than Bugzilla (if not factoring in language) or Mantis (for PHP), or with SCM interaction Redmine and Trac. Trac won't work for us because we have multiple repositories/projects. We'd have to hack together some sort of solution to manage all of them from one, or install a bunch of instances, and then we'd have bugs in multiple systems to track. Each developer on our team handles code for at least one project, just FYI. Redmine may work, but we need more time to determine if we can hack our own auth layer on top of it. Even then I am not sure if it will meet our needs 100% or not. We have not evaluated it enough yet. > Doesn't matter PHP or other.

Part of my wish list would be that it is written in PHP, so our team can extend it without writing beginner <insert language here> code to try to customize the couple things we'd need to tweak (like the auth layer) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
