 OVERVIEW OF REDMINE
Redmine is a free and open source, online project management and issue tracking instrument.
It enables clients to deal with different projects and related subprojects. It highlights per
project wikis and forums, time tracking, and adaptable, part based access control. It
incorporates a calendar and Gantt charts to help visual portrayal of projects and their due
dates. Redmine coordinates with different variant control frameworks and incorporates an
repository browser and diff viewer.

The plan of Redmine is fundamentally affected by Trac, a product bundle with some
comparative highlights.

Redmine is composed utilizing the Ruby on Rails structure. It is cross-stage and cross-database
