Usual suggestions for github alternatives are, |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* Gitorious <http://gitorious.org/> |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* Gitolite <https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite> |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
* Gitlab <http://gitlabhq.com/> |
| 18 |

None of them are very easy to set up. |

If all you need to do is host git repositories, I suggest putting bare |
| 22 |
repos on a server somewhere and having everyone push/pull over SSH. You |
| 23 |
can use the bare-bones gitweb (comes with git in portage) to view the |
| 24 |
repos from a web browser. You'll need a separate bug tracking mechanism |
| 25 |
in that case. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
For task management, we get away with a wiki (Mediawiki) and personal |
| 28 |
TODO lists. It's fine for the people who actually use it. Getting people |
| 29 |
to use it is the hard part. Your bug tracker can also double as a task list. |

For chat, run an IRC or XMPP server. |
