It is packaged for FreeBSD and available through ports. It has a large number of features that you can safely ignore; unless and until you need them. The authentication/ authorisation mechanisms are well integrated and easy to use; and to understand. Redmine requires an SQL back-end. The 'default' back-end is MySQL / MariaDB. PostgreSQL is also available. We have been using Redmine and Git since we moved off TRAC and Subversion back in 2006. We use Redmine for the company administrative wiki, programmer day books, computer system operations scheduling, issue tracking, work requests, documentation, time tracking, project management, and many other things. You can have multiple independent projects/wikis, or dependent sub-projects. Each user can have different roles assigned in different projects. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
