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

I'm looking forward for any feedback, comments and critique :)
