Open Source Project Management Tools

9 July 2010

SOS Open Source has been used to find and select open source web-based project management with issue-tracking and time-tracking tools to manage multiple IT projects, possibly localized in Italian (or at least open for internazionalization and localization).

The pre-selection of project management programs started by focusing on some of the most famous web-based ones, excluding the following (for the following reasons):

Kforge, Project HQ, ProjectPier because maintained by a small group;
Collabtive, Feng Project, because too young (less than 3 years old);

Launchpad and Trac were eventually added to the final list of candidates (see below) »

- English
- Italiano
