Today I came across the Trac Project.

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.

I only had a quick look but this software is fascinating. It integrates software like Bugzilla and ViewCVS into a Wiki system. This allows one to use Wiki formattings, WikiWords and bug numbers inside commit comments. These commits are displayed as nice changesets (see example) including inlide diff. A roadmap is generated automatically from the ticket system with a nice progress bar (see here for an example).

Is great to see such software evolving. It allows you to focus on development and reduces the project management documentation overhead. Roadmaps, changelists and timelines are generated automatically. You don’t need to waste your time on formatting status reports.
