Change to redmine

Added by Olivier Delannoy about 1 year ago

Redmine, the tool used for this website, has been updated and integrated with a bunch of new plug-ins.
  • Knowledebase is a plug-ins to collect knowledge it provide an easy way to organize the information into a single place independent of project. As a consequence we will have to move all knowledge gathered into this common place to make the most of it. Each category root category should provide an external resource article which list books, tutorials and more.
  • Checkout is a plug-ins that allow each project to configure the checkout URL for the project. It is displayed as part of the repository page at the top and makes it look very similar to github.
  • Git Download Revision is a plug-in that allow one to download a particular revision of a repository. I need to check whether it also work with submodules or not.
  • Code Review is a plug-ins that integrate with the diff viewer. It allows one to put note associated to a code. The notes are collected as part of a dedicated tracker for further actions. It is a nice way to do code review once the code has been introduce in the system. It probably work best if the workflow include the notion of feature branch where each issue gets its own branch and can be publish in its own branch into the main repository and only merge into the main development stream at that point.

Those are the main changes. I will do another round of update soon to upgrade to version 1.1.X of redmine when I get to find some time.
