David and Katherine Goodwin

This week, we are releasing our first full open source project.

It's basically a piece of web-based software, written in Python and PHP, that allows you to allocate tickets from multiple Trac projects to a simple week-based 'board' in order to organise work priority for developers.

I've written about why we wanted this, and created a short user guide on the Trac site for the project. This is still in development and we're working on some more features (You can see what we've got planned from our timeline).

We're releasing it under the GPL, and it is now available for you to check out with subversion and install. Sam has written an installation guide and there are some scripts etc to help you out.

We'd love feedback if people want to try this out, and would be happy to take on patches and give regular contributors svn write access. We're also interested in feature requests from people who might use this in slightly different ways.

See http://virtual-planner.palepurple.co.uk for instructions and 'stuff'.
