Hi folks, I've noticed that github.com and bitbucket.org offer bugtracking, but gitorious.org doesn't. What do you think about attempting to work on a bugtracker interface for a free code hosting site using BE as the backend? An awful lot of people (me included, occasionally!) are using proprietary sites like github and entrusting their bugtracking data to it; having a public hosting service that doesn't create a dependency on that service for your bugtracking data would be pretty compelling, I think.
The fact that gitorious is written in Ruby on Rails probably makes the idea of using gitorious in particular a non-starter, but I thought I'd throw it out there. There's a gitorious thread about the general idea here: http://groups.google.com/group/gitorious/browse_thread/thread/40a541377060cb34 (One way to get around the Ruby/Python problem would be to have the bugtracker simply operate independently from the rest of the site, which I suppose would work fine but wouldn't be elegant to use.) Are there any other popular free code hosting sites out there, perhaps written in Python? ;-) If there was a site that allowed you to choose between different SCMs, that'd be even more suited to us.. Just an idea, - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[email protected]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Be-devel mailing list [email protected] http://void.printf.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/be-devel
