FusionForge helps you manage the entire development life cycle

FusionForge has tools to help your team collaborate, like message forums and mailing lists; tools to create and control access to Source Code Management repositories like CVS and Subversion. FusionForge automatically creates a repository and controls access to it depending on the role settings of the project.

Additional Features:

• Manage File Releases.
• Document Management.
• News announcements.
• Surveys for users and admins.
• Issue tracking with “unlimited” numbers of categories, text fields, etc.
• Task management.
• Wiki (using MediaWiki or phpWiki).
• A powerful plugin system to add new features.
