[Tom Melendez]

Two from the "big guys":

I'm starting to use Issue Tracker:

http://www.issue-tracker.com/

It was written by the folks at Redhat, and they still use it today.

There's also MySQL's eventum:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/other/eventum/index.html

Nice product with graphs, and as I understand it, they use this in house as
well.  I opted not to use it because it was a little granular than I needed.

Both of these are GPL, and PHP/MySQL.

Good Luck!

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Bug Tracking

Hello Spot,

I have used Mantis, and found it to be quite good. It is good as a basic,
easy-to-use bug management system. It is certainly easier to use than
Bugzilla.

I am a big Mozilla fan, and I don't want to knock Bugzilla, but I think it
was always a tool written by programmers for programmers. Hence it always
had a hard-to-use interface.

FogBugz by Joe Spolsky's company, Fog Creek, is supposed to be really good.
It is not open source, but nevertheless has some well-received features
(including the ability to import Bugzilla data, I think.)

He has three different versions, one each for Windows, Unix and the Mac.

The Unix and MAc versions seem to use PHP, MySQL and Curl:

http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/KB/setup/MacReady.html

The Windows version seems to offer support for Microsoft databases including
support for MySQL. It is unclear whether the Windows version also uses PHP,
but I think it must. (Why create two different versions for two different
platforms?)


Hope that helps.

- Jay
