Is it just me or is David W. Jones a BugWiki employee. I have been researching some bug tracking tools recently and everywhere I see, there are some recent comments about how good bugwiki is (twitter, some bug tracker comparisons etc). I look at bugwiki and it’s no better than scribbling down stuff in a spreadsheet. I am not saying it’s bad (everything has it’s uses), but persistent comments stating how great bugwiki is, is pretty darn suspicious. Especially on a post that is a nearly a year old?

I have used several bug trackers over the years. For me, the trouble is that many of them feel like something created in a joint venture between Stalin and Hitler. They really want to control the way you think and the way you run things. Looking for something unobtrusive, I finally ended up with an unknown product called BugWiki (https://www.bugwiki.com). It has a minimal feature set but puts a proportionally minimal burden on the user.

Use CutePDF for pdf output. All you do is hit “Print” and it saves it to a PDF file from your browser. Works great!

I’ll check out BugTracker.NET. But, I actually like the Wiki. I’ve already used it extensively for documentation for a current project. The only major thing missing is easy exporting to something like PDF. But, the cut & paste method works well enough.

I agree with you that “nothing is quite as polished and integrated as Fogbugz”. But…. if you like the FogBugz approach, and are just looking for bug tracking, not a wiki, BugTracker.NET might be worth a try. (I’m the author). Free and open source. For sure, semi-inspired by FogBugz. Not as polished, but also not as….rigid. At http://ifdefined.com/bugtrackernet.html.

You should not have to have a web server on your Subversion server to get the commits entered into FogBugz – that’s only necessary if you want to be able to click on the commits in FogBugz and see the diffs. When you get back to messing with this, give us a holler and we’ll see if we can figure out what might be happening.
