CTask-Lite on GitHub
Jul 2nd
Alright, I’ve finally put my open-source project website woes to rest. I successfully published the first version of CTask-Lite out on GitHub. It can be found here: http://github.com/cdunlap/ctask-lite
CTask-Lite is an easy to install, configure, theme, and use task management system. It is aimed at tiny teams working on ‘open’ projects. What I mean by open is that they don’t care who sees what (because there is no user/role management capability in it).
The Wiki for CTask-Lite is here: http://wiki.github.com/cdunlap/ctask-lite
Spread the word! Download it, use it, mangle it, hack it, fork it, etc.
Why is open source project hosting annoying and not playing nice with me?
Jul 2nd
I wrote a neat little web-based task system in PHP, jQuery, and SQLite last night and wanted a place to put it so I could give it to the world (and maintain my source code).
I checked out Google code, where I have placed several projects of mine. I successfully created a project, but when I’d try to check in the code, the SVN server wasn’t available. At the same time, I’d try to click the “Source” tab on the project that I just created and I’d get an HTTP 500 from Google (which is incredibly rare). So I marked that project for deletion from Google Code.
Then I went over to Source Forge. Source Forge is having issues. I couldn’t get their site to load at the time that I tried, again, HTTP 500 errors. Though I did get an email from them a few days ago saying they were going to be pushing a new UI to their site soon. The email said the service interruptions were only going to be for a few minutes at the most. Lets just say it was more than a few minutes, so I scrapped that idea.
Then I remembered a guy at work recommended GitHub. I’m really new to Git and so far I don’t like it. I find it more difficult to use than SVN–though it is faster by far. So I get the code put up on GitHub just fine, but now I can’t edit the repository details in the admin area. Every time I try to change the project website or description it responds with “Name is already taken”. Ok, minor annoyance. Ignoring that, I went over to the downloads area to upload my ZIP containing the final v1.0 build of the project. It gets 100% done and then I get a HTTP 500 from GitHub. I try to go back to the project page but now I’m getting a HTTP 500 error anytime I try to do anything with my project. Not all of GitHub… my project page. I seem to be the only one affected by this.
So, I’m a bit frustrated at the moment. I guess I’ll start working on one of my closed-source projects and call it a night.
