Suggestions for web based CVS/Project Team options?

[eluser]Myles Wakeham[/eluser]
We have a couple of large PHP/CodeIgniter projects right now, that will involve about 6-10 people. Some are developers, designers, testers, etc. My team is spread around the world, so managing the process is crucial to meeting our deadlines.

I need to find a solution that is a combination of CVS (source code repository) but also a tool for task allocation, communication within the teams, etc. Basically I want something where team members can be allocated tasks, and given the tools to do their work, check-in the end result, have other test and document 'to-dos' on the tasks, etc. All web based, and ideally open source.

Can anyone in the CI world who works on larger projects share how their teams manage the workflow and source code control?

Thanks

if you dont mind using SVN instead of CVS then Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) is great.

I looked at Trac, but it seemed a bit lightweight for what I was hoping for. My biggest challenge is keeping developers focussed on tasks, and being able to have testers & developers log bugs, etc. against a task before the task is completed out. This, combined with source code management, is key. I'm also hoping to have some form of communication forum in the mix of this because developers need to be able to communicate within the team and we should have some form of a log of the communications as new people come on board.

I looked at Trac for this, but didn't really see that it was able to handle all of these issues. Did I miss something?

Might have a look @ Launchpad.

Take a look at:

or

I personally use basecamp http://www.basecamphq.com for project management, and I know that at least two hosted version control systems integrate with it: http://www.springloops.com/ and http://www.beanstalkapp.com/

I have not used either one yet. In fact, I intend to install bazaar http://bazaar-vcs.org/ on our development server to use as a version control system.

I second basecamp...i think it's amazing.

We should probably clone it in CI then ;-)

I'm creating something similar that uses CI for project management. It has a Todo, File, Bug tracker and more.

Unfuddle. It's svn + trac-like (but friendlier) project management + a blog with a simple interface.
