What is Redmine?
Redmine is a flexible project management web application. Written using the Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database.
Redmine is open source and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 (GPL).
It is a cross-platform, cross-database, and open source tool that also has issue-tracking features. Users can manage multiple projects and subprojects, and have access to many planning, tracking, and documenting features available from similar commercial products.
Redmine has a news area where members can publish news items. It allows the creation of documents, such as user documentation or technical documentation, which can be downloaded by others. A Files module is a table that lists all uploaded files and its details.
Users can easily create project wikis with the help of a toolbar. Other features include custom fields for creating additional information, and a Repository to view a given revision and the latest commits. The software can be configured to receive emails for issue creation and comments. It also supports particular versions of different databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, and SQLite.
