What software options for working with a distributed team?

By Jesse Babson - May. 12, 2008

Hi - I am looking for setting up the basic infrastructure that will allow me to work with and manage a remote team. We currently have our code hosted on SVN and use MediaWiki (which is a bit cumbersome for basic tasks). I would like to get automated builds, post regular releases and allow basic collaboration. What options to I have? What has the community used?

    I'm guessing this is NOT an open source project that you are building? If it IS, you can, you can add your project to any of the hosting repositories like http://code.google.com or http://sourceforge.net or http://codehaus.org.


    If not, check out CollabNet (http://www.collab.net) - they should have what you need.

    Just checkout SharpForge. It looks to be a clone of SourceForge. It too has a subversion plugin incase you would like to manage your code there. It has a wiki which again is managed by the subversion system.


    Let us know if this was closer to what you are looking for.

    Try TWiki, it has over 200 plugins and a very active user base - the project has some internal tools that hook to/from Subversion as well.

    You should really also check out Assembla. www.assembla.com. It has a slick UI and offers several things you would need for application development and its management.

    Take a look at Collaber. http://www.collaber.com


    It is a virtual office software for distributed teams. It has around 15 tools like File Sharing, Task Management, Discussions, Shared Calendar and much more.


    Free version allows you to create 2 workspaces and participate in unlimited workspaces.

    MindTouch is an obvious choice. It integrates with SVN and you can migrate Mediawiki to it cleanly.
