We started using Sourceforge two years ago, and since then we have done an intense use of it. Sourceforge is a great place to start a project because it gives you all the community tools you need in one place. But when projects grow, initial requisites may change and Sourceforge may not have all the flexibility needed.

As you may already know, we have been working in changing our issue tracker from SourceForge to Mantis. The transition is now complete and we now use Mantis as our only tracker. From now on, please report issues at issues.openbravo.com.

The main advantages of Mantis are that it provides a lot of flexibility, it has multiple projects, advanced filtering, subversion integration, advanced access level management, customizable issue workflow, issue relationships… Additionally it’s open source and that ensures us we can change it in the future.

All bugs have been migrated from Sourceforge to Mantis. From now on, you should only work with Mantis. New bugs should be reported there and old bugs can also be found there. When reporting a bug, remember to follow our guidelines.

If you have any comments about our implementation of Mantis, please feel free to tell us so. You can post general ideas as comments to this post or you can report defects and feature requests at issues.openbravo.com in the project Mantis@OB.
