Introduction - An Introduction to Redmine
Issue trackers are at the heart of any significant software project. Particularly for someone with as bad a memory as me, the tracker is invaluable for reminding developers what needs to be done, and in what order.
For a user, knowing the standard workflows in trackers allows them to navigate a project’s tracker and poke and prod in the right places to get their issue resolved.
Here, I’ll be talking specifically about Redmine, although the same principles apply to other popular issue trackers, including Trac (upon which Redmine is modelled) and Bugzilla. The intent is to provide an overview of how to actually use an issue tracker, rather than the setup guides than are much more prominent on the internet.
