The Tools Google Uses Internally
May 12th, 2008 2 Comments
Recently I’ve been on a project that uses BaseCamp. I really don’t know what all the fuss is about surrounding BaseCamp, for me it doesn’t do anything very well at all.. and often breaks to boot, but you tend not to know this stuff until you’ve been using the tools for a while (by which time your entire project is in there).
I wonder what the The Tools Google Uses Internally are like, better or worse?
I wonder if a consumer version of Subversion, with wiki knobs on, would be better than BaseCamp….

Have you seen Trac? That is exactly what you describe (I think). If you add the webadmin plugin it’s everything that you want

As I was writing that I thought, “hang on, isn’t this Trac”… but then thought Trac isn’t really “consumer facing”… I mean, there isn’t a single gradient to be found in the Trac screens…
It wouldn’t take a lot of work to “BaseCamp Theme” it though I guess…
I either need to ramp up my productivity and skills or set fire to my To-Do list.
