Current state for use in new projects #51

Hi! Hope you don't mind me using an issue to ask a few questions. I know some people who might be interested in starting a social enterprise/NGO project and Bettermeans was suggested as one of the core tools. I notice that its codebase doesn't seem to have been touched in quite some time, which led me here.

I wonder if you could comment on its current readiness for primetime? If you were beginning a new project today, would you:

  1. Use Better
  2. Fork again from Redmine
  3. Use another toolset entirely

I realise it's hard to answer this kind of question without details... I'm just trying to get a sense of where things were left, and how much work would be required to get it production-ready.

Cheers, Rich.

Hi @richchurcher. Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately Better is a long ways from production ready at this point. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it myself, and just looking over the code I've seen a handful of security vulnerabilities. I do have it up online if you're not too attached to your data, but depending on your use case I might recommend something else. The teams I work with get a lot of mileage out of Trello in particular.

Hey thanks very much for getting back to me. I'll feed that back and pass on a link to this issue in case they have any follow up.
