[consulting] A non-Drupal PM & issue tracking solution: Redmine

[Bob Schmitt]

I've used Redmine too, it's a fairly good 80% solution for project  
management.

The only thing that keeps me looking at AtTask (a really nice looking  
commercial project mgmt platform) is Redmine's lack of a task  
templating ability, i.e. the ability to define multistep tasks that  
you can replicate as a single unit and assign responsibilities  
automatically to other people on your team (with built in  
dependencies). Otherwise, it meets all of my project mgmt. needs.
