Parallel project management application discussions between this group and my Houston Rails group induced me to download redMine yesterday and test it out for a bit.
To be honest, being that redMine is an open-source Rails based application, I am surprised that it is not getting more love throughout the Rails community. I think it is a nice little app.
I have also been looking for a new Project Management Application to replace my current Trac setup. I have been writeing a little report on my instigation http://wiki.mylesbraithwaite.com/Ideas/ ProjectManagementAndBugTracking

First, I also use redmine and I think it is really good. At least it has also a wiki per project, which is a must (I think)
A project having more than how many developers need a project management tool?
How much of rails developers use Linux as their OS?
And lastly, I know I opened this discussion before but still I do not find any tool to draw good ER diagrams in Linux. The softwares mentioned before, like Dia, are not good enough in practice. My solution for today, is, unfortunately, to draw Class diagram via argoUML and act like it is an ER diagram.
Thanks in advance

A Wiki is about as useless as a Gantt chart unless you use it correctly and make sure the client uses it as well, IMHO.

I don't think it's the number of developers that count, it's the number of days work needed to bring the project to completion. If there is more than one day of work involved, I think the project is of sufficient complexity to need managing in a more structured way than email by the developer(s) even if only one person is involved on each side of the client/developer relationship.

No hard figures, but OS X has a very high uptake amongst Rails developers compared to general OS X market penetration. I personally think that Windows users are likely in the minority within this part of the developer community, but I have no figures to support me in that assertion.

Well, you've got a weekend in front of you haven't you? We look forward to seeing what you produce! :-D
Seriously, I know what you mean. I'm on OS X so can use OmniGraffle when I need to. Personally, I'm not sold on ER diagrams - I can quite happily work out what is going on with nothing more than some migrations, or schema.rb and app/models - I think ER diagrams and the like actually slow down development.

Agreed absolutely on that. Also if there is a client involved - which I know is a trick answer but if there is a client, there is a need to document scope and effort.

All of our servers are Debian machines, with OS X on the client side.

Yep, I successfully tested IE4Linux, but I eventually must test some desktop applications over Windows, so I finally bought Parallels: I find it very useful to test installers on different configurations and to take system snapshots.
