Hosting or no hosting

Gitorious is great for sharing source code via git. But Gitorious is very limited in project management and website hosting.

I was recently looking for a host that would suit my needs: a bug/issue tracker, wiki and blog.
The bug/issue tracker is obvious, it'll be used for bugs and feature requests. The wiki will be used for documentation and the blog as a news channel for updates etc.

Most of the hosts I looked at provided software like Mantis, Wordpress and Mediawiki. But somehow it doesn't feel right. Mantis might be very good, but it looks very ugly. And I want a completely integrated solution which means that every component should look similar to get a consistent website.

For now I settle with separate sites and use the wiki of Gitorious.

2 opmerkingen:

  1. Why not use FogCreek's hosted FogBugz and Kiln products? They're free for small (<=2-person) projects.

  2. You could look at hosting providers that provide redmine or trac hosting, i think those packages have everything you need.
