[OSM-talk-be] Mapper of the month

[Glenn Plas]

Hi Marc,

Redmine is dreadful to setup in the first place, using nginx + passenger
it is doable but once you need to apply updates to ruby it goes south.
I professionally support redmine installs and I hate them, so I like the
idea a lot but not the software you suggest.

It's fine at first but with some plugins you start to hit the rails/ruby
versioning issues that make it hell to support and keep it secure.

On the other hand, maybe we can use trac like JOSM does.  The tool
http://trac.edgewall.org/ might not be fancy, but all I ever need to do
is run the standalone version behind an nginx webserver and it runs for
years , written in python.  With the limited resources we have, we need
some low mainteance thing.

Trac is also nice since it doesn't 'force' a ticket flow, you can just
invent one that suits you.  It's a project help tool more than a
ticketing/helpdesk tool like redmine. (which is ok as long as you don't
have to touch it after a sucessfull initial install)

Greetings,

Glenn

PS: I also feel that all the sudden we have a boost in this community,
it's awesome and contagious too!
