Having used JIRA on my job, and it is a really complete e rebust software. Its very flexible and tends to take form over the culture of the local business where it is used. Dont know how geany is developed (sprints, single features and different teams, anyone can contribute), but JIRA is certainly recommended if you need some specificity on your track systems. In other words, if you track system can do, JIRA can, but may need some patience to put it to work.<br>
<br>Have some months of experience with Mantis. Its straight forward as a bug track system, may need some tweaks to take the form expected for the dev team.<br><br>Github has it simple track system, but shows powerful in teams and projects with many issues and little/medium teams. But, i think the most appeal point in GitHub is the "social coding". The way the communication flows in to the network, with another developers and it seems more "open" them other plataforms out there, maybe its only impression of a frustrated open source developer, but since I started to use geany (two months) and saw that it is worth, I prayed for it to be hosted on Github. I think it will facilite the new users and developers to get this project to be the best lightweight text editor in the universe (it is almost there)<br>

</div></div>You might consider JIRA, a commercial product of Atlassian. Of course<br>
Geany is an open source project and may prefer not to be tied in any<br>
way to a company. Atlassian provide hosted instances of JIRA for open<br>
source projects, including JBoss. I use it almost daily in my work and<br>
find it's a very capable product.<br>
<br>
The Frugalware Linux distribution recently changed from using Flyspray<br>
to Trac because Flyspray was no longer maintained. Trac seems OK to me<br>
as an end user of the product.<br>
<br>
Mantis - <a href="http://www.mantisbt.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mantisbt.org/</a> - looks good and is seemingly<br>
actively developed. According to the blog, it has a phone-optimized<br>
interface available which could be a big advantage. The development<br>
team could keep their phones by their beds and track bugs as they are<br>
reported and respond instantly and easily. :P<br>
