How can I track a problem with several different error trackers in one place?

Question

Like many open source developers, I find that I interact with perhaps dozens of different tracks to track problems - some for work, some as a hobby; some often, some less often; sometimes reporting bugs, sometimes making corrections, sometimes following others' bug reports that affect me, sometimes organizing my own work on my own projects.

The problem is that this activity is scattered across various web applications ( github, bitbucket, trac, bugzilla, mantis, jira , ...) on different projects around the Internet, and there is no one there to check the status of problems that I'm trying to stay on top.

I need one toolbar application where I can browse, search and sort (by updated date, priority, etc.) all the errors assigned to me, or any errors that I reported, or any errors that I watch for updates - in all projects - without having to manually re-enter all these problems into the toolbar: I just want to transfer the URL of the existing problem to some other tracker, and it will track this problem status for me.

You can almost get there only with an RSS reader, except that the application really needs to know more about the relevant metadata so that you can sort and filter as needed.

Has anyone built something like this? Bonus, if it also provides recording capabilities, at least for common tasks, such as adding a comment, markup is allowed.

I have never heard of such a thing, and I constantly wish for it. If this does not exist, I may have to hack it.

Answer 1

I'm not sure that this will give you what you are looking for, but " undock " supports several trackers .. Help , it supports them all in one interface. I'm not sure, but it might be worth checking it out.

edit: yes, it supports them in one interface - the next question: do you want to read them from a mobile device :-)

In any case, I hope that it will be useful.
