Is there a decent issue management system written in CF that is similar to JIRA? I could spend the $20 to get JIRA and host it myself, but I can't help but choke when I see the price difference between 10 users and 25 ($20 vs $1200, WTF?)... to the point that I'm like, screw you, I'll just find something else. Not even that we'd never need 25. It's just kind of the principle of it all. :)

Thanks

Rob

Rob,

If the project for which you need issue tracking is open source, Atlassian will grant you unlimited user licenses for JIRA and the rest of their products for free.

You will be hard pushed to find anything written in cf, all these days, all
the half decent apps were abandoned years ago and no longer supported our
the site is long dead.
Best place to look is cf411.com or cfseaech.com

Jira is a very big and full featured Enterprise ticketing system, I am sure
it is $10 and not $20 for 10 users and was introduced a few years ago to
help get smaller teams get into Jira and other products. The whole $10 goes
directly to a charity, don't recall it off the top of my head, so Atlassian
doesn't even make money of these community versions.

If you feel inclined you're more than welcome to try and reinvent the wheel
and try your hand at your own version. People should realise that CF is
good for what it does and it's a shame tools like this don't exist, but not
everything needs to be written in CF, especially when there are already
good tools out there that do a far better job than you can ever try to
compete with.

If it's just issue tracking you are after and not so much project
management, Jira is really overkill and IMHO overly complex to setup and
manage anyhow.

PivotalTracker might be something to look at if you are looking for
something similar in the project management arenas. It is geared towards
Agile, but could be used for more traditional PM.

If just issue tracking is the goal, Trac or Redmine would be a good simple
ways to go.

Trello is a pretty awesome free organization tool that may be of interest
as well. Plus the mobile app for it works really well.

It is usually good advice to not reinvent the wheel, but there is a
place for new projects. Sometimes you want to roll your own ticket
system and I have done that for a variety of reasons such as flexibility
or integrating with a code base. It really depends on how complex of a
system you need and what sorts of systems you want to connect to it.
