Artifacts Project is a tool for managing projects and tracking artifacts such as bugs and features. It is a text-based software designed for efficient project management.
Artifacts is a text-based project management and artifact tracking suite that is aimed primarily at open-source based projects. Its format specification enables developers and users to read, understand and modify existing artifacts without needing any tools installed. Artifacts are designed to exist inside a project's repository and can be shipped within a tarball release at packaging time. This allows end-users or remote developers instant access to changelogs, to-do lists and all outstanding bugs.
Developers need not go online or even leave the comfort of the project's directory. Artifacts can be updated alongside the code, enabling a developer to create a single patch which not only accomplishes development goals but also marks a bug as fixed and closed. Artifacts is the project management tool that I use for all my tracking needs, for all my projects on and off this site.
Some key features of Artifacts include artifact dependencies, time/deadline independent tasks or milestones, an easily 'repositorised' and human-readable text-based format, no internet required, no explicit artifact types (all user-definable), and the ability to quickly and easily generate to-do lists in plain text or as RSS feeds on the project's home page. Artifacts must be easy to locate and edit, even by filtering those assigned to just the user, with no software dependencies.
The suite can be easily "plugged in" to the web, allowing online users to add new bug notes directly into the repository. Downloading artifacts is possible using darcs or wget. This latest release is unstable and includes a readme refactor. In conclusion, Artifacts is a reliable tool for those looking for a simple-to-use project management and artifact tracking solution.
