white-label collaborative open-source development (e.g. github/sourceforge/google-code in a box) ?
- by Justin Grant
Does anyone have a recommendation for an open-source or paid (either packaged or SaaS) solution for integrating collaborative development features into your own website? Here's more details:
We currently host an online plugin gallery for our product. Users can upload and download plugins. But users can't easily collaborate on a plugin's development, can't easily report and track bugs on a plugin, can't easily track a plugin's versions or roadmap, etc.
Of course, contributors can host their plugin development on github, sourceforge, google code, codeplex, etc. But keeping users on our website has some advantages. For example:
We can use single-sign-on to avoid yet another username/password required
we can integrate end-user issue tracking into our existing online issue-tracking systems
we can get integrated analytics so we can better meet the needs of top contributors as well as downloaders
We can easily reward reputation points to committers just like we do for people who answer lots of questions
Anyone know a good solution for white-label sites for open-source project developer collaboration?
