Getting used to it already, and here are my new feedbacks

1. I can now easily create  my reports, how did I do that?, I added all my task in redmine

make a custom query where assignedTo is me and status is all, export in csv open the csv paste in on my email and send it.

2. This is a concern you have to be an admin if you want to add new projects?… sounds funny to me I suggest the manager role can add a project.

3. really getting used to it, honestly my task management time spped up to 20%, meaning I’m now more effective, and I can track my projects progress, and get a hold of small task that I missed.

4. Its so flexible I can even changed the issue trackers I removed the default bug, feature support and jsut added task, yeah I want it plain and simple coz whether its bug, feature support it falls to you and its your task so i just made a task.

5. I know now how to customize the skin its just on the stylesheet folder, and if you want to change some text check the lang folder

2 weeks of using redmine and getting used to it. What can I say?… let me explain in simple words to describe it. Its a simple application that has everything you want. But be reminded there is no task feature or milestones to track project or modules progress. Its good if you have an existing project already and just letting pips add new features and bugs to it. but if your just starting one it confuses you a lot. whether your a manager or developer.

Just started redmine today, and got introduced to ruby on rails for the first time coz redmine is an ror app, my initial assesments are the following:

1. It really stood up to what it says, ITS FLEXIBLE… and flexible truly it is.
2. Its a combination of basecamp and trac features plus more…
3. Easy to use, except…well I just got stuck for 30 mins wondering how to make a create/ or make new feature.

4. So far so good redmine is just 0.7 community is not that big yet, I’m still gonna evaluate is usefullness in the following days.
5. Its ruby on rails. FYI
