InDefero is basically a clone of GoogleCode but with git, mercurial and subversion support. The motto of InDefero "beautiful simplicity".
News
As planned, I can code again at a correct speed, so development is going again ahead.
Mini Roadmap / Important Information
Basically what I am up to at the moment. I tried to put that in the right order.
- DONE: Rework of the SCM backend. The backend was designed with a git only approach, a higher level interface is now required. I am working on it right now (See the dev branch). This will also allows better performance for all the backends.
- Rework of the code review, code review is not used a lot at the moment and the models are not well designed to handle the emerging usage patterns. This will be reworked and will most likely require dropping the current reviews when the new version will be available.
- Then and at the same time, bug fixing.
- Easy installer.
- Going through the bug tracker to see what needs to be done.

- Home page for each project.
