Redmine for not-computer related projects: what's your setup?

Added by Felix Schäfer over 14 years ago

We have set up a redmine for our fellow CS students (We are the elected representatives of the CS students, no clue what you would call that in english, especially considering differences between UK and US universities... but I digress), which you can see under https://tracker.oh14.de/ (yeah, the certificate is self-signed, we're looking into a CA-Cert certificate...). We also have applied some patches and made some changes to integrate more nicely with our LDAP (e.g. attributes are reloaded each time a user object is loaded, instead of only at creation time), make a commit update the corresponding project, if it's a webapp project, a change in trunk checks out the trunk to a sandbox, and so on and so forth (digressing again...).

To get back to the point, I'm in the process of implementing a tracker and some roles to coordinate groups which don't need any of the "software project" related stuff. As the groups most of the time are quite small and the members are equal, I was thinking of a "member" role, and a really simplistic workflow for a "ToDo" that would go something like "assigned -> feedback -> completed" (not quite sure if the "new" and "rejected" would really be needed), maybe backed by a forum and/or wiki (at the discretion of the group), and nothing more.

I'm curious to know what experiences and setups others have come up with, if you are using redmine for non-software related projects, please share! :-)

We use Redmine also for non-software items. We use it for hardware projects and maintain our quality system with it.

We try to maintain the same terms for the statusses of issues but if that is a problem we use a different tracker and a specific flow.
