Re: bugzilla or wiki? Or: how should we handle our bugs?
Hi,
we faced (Fotón, one of grupo cpd companies www.grupocpd.com ) that question
back in 2002. By that time we used perl as our major development language.
Wiki was a risk but we loved it. We collaborated in twiki development with
patches and stuff. During that year we came with an idea, what about
integrate somehow twiki + RT?
We did it in 2003. RT did not index its content so we use it only for
notifications and keep the state of a bug. So in twiki, by adding some tags
to a content and with certain sintax, you generate automatically a ticket in
RT. You can see and change the state of the bug and some info from RT in
twiki.
It is not a goodlooking solution (for geeks only) but it is 2007 and we
haven't found a better tool to do so. Now we have abandoned perl (we only
maintain products made in perl) and we are thinking about how can we make the
next step....
Maybe one of these days we find the way, the time and the money to do it.
Until then, the only tool we have found that like us a little bit is trac. It
has it all integrated and is python made. It is the internal tool we have
used for mEDUXa project.
We prefer though integrate a wiki and a bugtracker somehow.
