Question

I'm working on an open source project that requires me to work with a few third parties. Currently I'm using a private bug tracking system to maintain a list of both bugs and feature requests from these third parties, and priorities are assigned allowing me to target the larger issues first. However, I'd like to move to an open source development process and this means opening up this issue tracker up to the public. However, I don't want to share all of these issues (particularly some of the feature requests)

Therefore, is anyone aware of Issue trackers that allow some issues - such as feature requests - to be private while the remainder are public? I've researched this extensively myself but the best approach I've come up with is having two separate systems - public and private - that I manually synchronise (i.e. public issues -> private issue tracker) - an approach outlined by GitHub here. Surely there has to be something cleverer than this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

  • Assembla (with pair of "Tickets" and "Support" tools)
  • Mantis with
    • Public / Private Projects - Public project accessible to all users, private are only accessible to those explicitly added.
    • Public / Private Notes - Private notes are accessible to users with a specific access level to the relevant project.
    • Public / Private Issues - Private issues are accessible to users with a specific access level to the relevant project.

OTHER TIPS

If you are working on an open-source project, you might just qualify for a JIRA free subscription.

With JIRA you can also have unlimited Anonymous users (those are viewers only).

Not sure if this meets your needs, but it's definitely worth checking out, and I think they also have a one month trial.
