Devalot

Devalot is an exceptional project management tool with fantastic features, making it stand out among other tools like Trac, Collaboa, GForge, Mephisto, and Typo. Devalot offers everything required to host multiple software projects efficiently, and one installation can support an infinite number of projects. It has a rich feature set for hosted projects, including a wiki page-based website, blog system, ticket system for bug and feature request tracking, membership list, customizable CSS file, and public or private modes.

Devalot is not only suitable for software developers but also end-users. Every registered user has a dashboard to view assigned tickets, member projects, public profile, and point ratings. Being a web-based application, Devalot has many attractive features, such as tagging for almost every function, RSS/Atom feeds for per-project or site-wide updates, AJAX, and text transformation capabilities.

As a web-based application, Devalot addresses the issue of abuse by having new users start with zero points, which means their content is invisible until moderated. Moderated users can also be promoted or destroyed by users with a configurable point level. Ticket attachments are only viewable to project members until they are made public.

In its latest release, the trunk has been stabilized, making Devalot an official release. It is worth considering for any project manager looking for an efficient and effective tool for hosting software projects.
