Codeplex / Sourceforge for internal use

Question

I am looking for a free open source manager that can be deployed in my workplace, which will act similarly to Codeplex or Sourceforge. Does anyone know something like this, and if you have experience with it.

Requirements:

• Open source or free
• Locally deployable
• There are the same types of functions as in Sourceforge / Codeplex
  • Tracking Issues / Features
  • Community interaction (i.e. voting, roles, etc.).
  • SCM Integration (optional)
• .NET / Windows Friendly (optional)

Every business has internal domain-specific utilities and applications that developers create to make life easier. Given the contribution of the internal community of developers, they have the potential to become much better (can you tell GMail ...), and I just would like to create such an environment within the country, providing a convenient place for this interaction.

UPDATE:

I like what I see in both Trac and GForge, but both of them are strongly oriented towards UNIX / Subversion environments. I should have pointed this out, but we are an MS store from top to bottom. How practical do you think trying to use them in MS.NET? Will it be like trying to stick a square pin through a round hole?

Answer 1

I like redmine for this: http://www.redmine.org . The only thing that he lacks according to your criteria is a vote, but for this there may be a plugin.

Trac is also popular ( http://trac.edgewall.org ), but it lacks support for aggregating project data.

Answer 2

Try GForge , it's the SourceForge formatter and has most of its features.

Answer 3

I agree, Trac should work. Subversion’s IMHO configuration should be relatively simple on Windows, it has excellent Windows clients (tortoiseSvn), and Trac runs on python, so it will work on Windows as well.

Answer 4

Other benefits of Sourceforge Enterprise are these plugins. There are additional plugins for Visual Studio that can be found here and here .

Answer 5

SourceForge Enterprise Edition 4.4 is available free of charge for 15 users. We use it for our development team and another development team where I work.

This works great for us. It has subversion and built cvs (depending on what you want to use). If you plan to access it over the Internet, you can enable HTTPS. I had to pay a little to get HTTPS to work correctly (find the appropriate CentOS packages to install). If you want to use this solution with HTTPS, I would not mind if you sent me a message asking for help.

It comes with VM for VMWare Player: http://www.collab.net/downloads/sfee/index4.4.html

Answer 6

Launchpad supports code hosting and version control support, bug tracking, drawings, answers, polls, translations, etc.

Launchpad is used by the Ubuntu project.

Launchapad was released as an open source a few weeks ago.

Answer 7

I was just wondering the same thing, something like Trac, but in .NET, after a quick GOOGLE search (I never tried these tools), I found

sharpforge (It doesn't look anymore!)

I love the way .netTiers looks. They use screw-screw. It is absolutely free if you comply with all GPLv2 applications.

Answer 8

Assembla and BeanStalk are good, both have such things; wiki, discussion, alerts, chat, ticket, Trac, Git and Subversion

Answer 9

How about Trac ? It is quite simple, but it does Job for a large number of open source projects.

Answer 10

I agree with the Trac proposal. I use it for both an open source project and an internal project. It has decent issue tracking and integration with Subversion, which allows linking between tickets and subversion control. It also has a built-in wiki that can be used for documentation. Although we do not use it for functions such as voting / community, I know that several additions can be added to it that can serve this purpose.
