Top 10 Open Source Web-Based Project Management Software

Filed Under Software Application | Leave a Comment

Project management software is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives. A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don’t have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calender, gantt charts, email notification and much more.

Obviously I’m not the only user, the following open source software is used by some of the biggest research organizations and companies world wild. For e.g. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses track software or open source project such as lighttpd / phpbb use redmine software to keep track of their projects.

You use the following top 10 software for personal or business use. Keep track of all your projects in one place and finish them successfully on time.

#1: Codendi
#2: Redmine
#3: ProjectPier		 #4: Trac
#5: Project HQ
#6: Collabtive		 #7: eGroupWare
#8: KForge
#9: OpenGoo
#10: ClockingIT

My Personal Choice

OpenGoo is my personal choice because I like to use PHP and I often work with small teams. We track project milestones, task-list, trouble tickets and much more using Collabtive. I can track multiple projects and its flexible role-based access control make sure only authorized eyes can view the details.

Collabtive will keep it in eyes because of the ajax technology.

What is Virtualmin?

Filed Under Domain & Server Hosting | Leave a Comment

It is a Webmin module for managing multiple virtual hosts through a single interface, like Plesk or Cpanel. It supports the creation and management of Apache virtual hosts, BIND DNS domains, MySQL databases, and mailboxes and aliases with Sendmail or Postfix. It makes use of the existing Webmin modules for these servers, and so should work with any existing system configuration, rather than needing it’s own mail server, web server and so on.

Virtualmin can also create a Webmin user for each virtual server, who is restricted to managing just his domain and its files. Webmin’s existing module access control features are used, and are set up automatically to limit the user appropriately. These server administrators can also manage the mailboxes and mail aliases in their domain, via a web interface that is part of the module. [Webmin]
