Hi,
out of interest, which specific features or workflows are missing and make the existing instances of Bugzilla / Mingle / Trello insufficient, and are your usecases described in public somewhere?
I was specifically agreeing with Terry's point, "these are closed source (possibly externally-hosted) software infrastructure pieces that we, as a Foundation, do not want to have an ongoing dependence on"
That said, I do have some issues with Trello (it doesn't have great search and filtering, it can be unclear who's assigned vs. CCed, only some things trigger notifications, those notifications have weird link choices) besides just FOSS.
Do the evaluation criteria in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Tracker/PM_tool still apply, or could that page be updated?
I've updated to include "open source" in the "nice to have" (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Tracker/PM_tool#Project_Management_Tools_requ...) for PM tools.
How to make sure that Flow feedback from users ends up in the correct place? Thinking of Flow reports potentially filed in Bugzilla, is there anything to move from or sync tickets between Bugzilla with Redmine?
I am not advocating Flow immediately switch to Redmine, though they can if they choose. The goal is to work on making Redmine an attractive open source PM tool for the WMF, but we're not completely there yet.
