There is a lot of similarity between these tools and Dave's original post. At VCU, our central technology unit created their own (and I'm lobbying to have the library be part of it). This is specifically for tracking changes to production systems. It includes approval as well as notification. Anyone can subscribe to email lists to get notifications. This has made a positive difference university wide in terms of communicating changes and potential outages. It has also surfaced how many changes must be managed for the existing infrastructure. The public side of it is at: http://go.vcu.edu/changes (notification option at bottom of the page). And back to my original point, they have since rolled the same code up into a project management system. Perhaps they should have looked at some of the suggestions below! -Jimmy John Fink wrote: > If you're at all handy with Ruby I'd check out Redmine ( > http://www.redmine.org/).
