project management tool

project management tool

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,

Would you know a project management tool written in OCaml?
The main requirements are the support of:
- Task dependency (there might be complex dependencies schema with "infinite loops)
- Project/SubProject
- Merging (cross project/subproject) tasks

Not a problem wether it's web based or not, but if it has a rich client,
using GTK (No Qt, please) would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

We have a project to build a forge with such features (based on the Ocsigen 
framework).
(The project will be hosted by ocamlcore.org: 
http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/ocsforge/).

Actually the project just started and we have no idea when there will be 
something usable (depending on whether we found some funding to do it or 
not) ...

Cheers,
Vincent Balat

I discovered this project through the OCaml Planet. What is the
rationale behind this project? What specific functionalities do you
want to provide, compared to current forges?

Sincerely yours,
david

Is it (only?) a matter of "funds" (money)?

Hello David,

Our first goals were mainly to find an application for our technologies, and 
to write a forge to be used on our site, that would meet our own needs and 
working habits. We are not really happy with current forges, (for example the 
way they handle todo lists). But we have ideas for building a very powerful 
tool that could compete with existing forges. Obviously it will be open source 
and we would be happy to discuss the features with interested people. But 
again, we have no idea when this project will reach a usable state ...

Cheers,
-- Vincent

Vincent and I (in the name of ocamlcore.org team), have discussed this
forge project. Just to be clear:
- OCsigen team is running for now Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/)
- OCaml Forge is running GForge and will upgrade to fusion forge in the
  near future (http://fusionforge.org/)

Trac has some issue with speed and is not as good as gforge to integrate
many projects and users. GForge is a good tool for large forge projects
but is not eye candy at all and is too complicated for average user, you
need to learn a bit of mailman/GForge et al before mastering the forge.

Other interesting forge like project includes Redmine.

Vincent wish to create a forge like project in pure OCaml using ocsigen.
One instance of this project will be opened at ocamlcore.org, when it
will be mature enough (something like http://ocsforge.ocamlcore.org) 
and that all the ocamlcore.org team will agree on this.
