I use TFS at work which I am quite famililar with, I need a simple version of something similar that integrates into VS for my home hobby projects.
The only things I really need is :
Task lists, with detail pages where I can record info about how I might implement the task / test it.
Categorisation, prioritisation.
SVN / VS support so I can commit to SVN at the same time referencing the task.
I have tried using notepad and the tasks in VS but thats just too mimimal. And other solutions that cater for full agile/scrum are OTT.
Thanks.
Microsoft now provide "Visual Studio Team Services" (it was first released under the name "Team Foundation Service" and later renamed to "Visual Studio Online" and then renamed again recently). It provides most (perhaps all) of the facilities of TFS but in the cloud; actually in Azure which is Microsoft's own cloud. The system is free for up to five users.
Local Mantis BT (it's mainly bugtracker, but can be configured and used as to-do list|planner) with TortoiseMantis
Hosted Assembla (free) Space
You could try Trac and put all your tasks in those Trac tickets. The SVN cross-linking is excellent. First, have a look at the Trac playground to test it. If it makes you happy, there is a good Windows bundle called Bitnami Trac including all necessary tools, and it's for free and easy to install. Also check out the Trac homepage.

If I understand things correctly, at the end of the year Google Code will be shutting down most of what is useful for an open source project I help maintain, described below.
I'm wondering what the current alternatives are to Google Code? I'm looking for a site that has the following attributes, some of which are attractive about Google Code (but which will not be available soon or in the long term):
free
svn/mercurial/git version control services that we can use to manage code and share trunk/branches with the public
hosts files (source code and prebuilt binaries) with reasonable storage (we currently have a 4 GB quota, but we don't use much of it, at this time)
offers wiki-like or relatively free-form web space to publish documentation (text and graphics)
I guess we could "roll our own" server to do all of this, but then it becomes a maintenance issue for all the services that run in the background. So I'm wondering if there are other companies that offer this kind of setup for open source projects?
(Note: While this is a software development question, it is more about the distribution side of things. If this is the wrong spot for this question, feel free to comment on where I should move it. Thanks for your help, hiveminds.)
Google code isn't shutting down, it's just stop hosting binaries.
For your binaries you have Bintray.com.
Bintray is a social platform for community-based software distribution. It is also the only platform that integrates developer tools (Build tools, etc.) and APIs, allowing full process automation, including auto-generating of indexes for multiple repository formats and also, the platform is highly available and optimized to deliver high-performance downloads (CDN).
Microsoft's codeplex would fit these needs

We would like to move into the CI direction and face the following situation. We have a Linux based SVN server hosted by another team. We are a small .Net software team and would like to run automatic unit and integration tests over night and get feedback in the morning. Which (cheap) options do we have in this situation? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
It doesn't matter where your SVN server is hosted.
SVN server provides you a platform-agnostic way to communicate with it.
So you are able to use either CI server you prefer.
If you want to get it for free, I'd recommend to use Team City (free version is limited in some ways but it will be definitely enough if your team is small).
You can host your Team City on any server you control and setup connection to SVN via URL.
As for window based automatic build I recommend the following below:
Jenkins - It has a lot of plugins. Easy to manage, install and configure.
CruiseControl.net - It is great as well and highly configurable. In my opinion it does have a big learning curve but it is worth the learning.
RedGate Deployment Manager - This one looks promising. I have not used it however I have always been a fan of RedGate products. RedGate always deliver fully polished products.

Like this done in
http://directory.fsf.org/
http://www.ohloh.net/
so anyone in our company (include bosses) can look:
what projects exist (good to have web search capability)
who is primary mainteners, responsible employees
provide CHANGES, latest version
point to BTS (Trac/Mantis), VCS (SVN/Git/HG), Wiki, Mail list, NNTP, Night build, CI build, etc...
may be provide some summary info based on activity on BTS/VCS (how many opened bugs, how often and who commit)
I don't need extra features as Wiki. and package must work with several existing sofware management/development tools, and does not restricted with Java/C#...
I look on WEB without happen as don't know gold "keywords". Search on StackExchange also don't show any result.
Some requested features available in enterprise application architecture for project hosting (like KForge, FusionForge, GForge) but thay too complex and dictate toolset for teams...
Seems that all existing software directory project built in house and their sources are not released for public.
Look for most complete list of software directories enabled site that I found. Only OpenSymphony provide sources of some components.
So complete lightweight solution does not exist currently.
I going to write own...

i am normally developing either alone or with 2-3 other people. i handle almost all aspects of the business and development but as of current i am becoming overwhelmed with my client base. I need some system to help me out
What i am looking for is something that i can:
Use to manage my client contacts
Per client, manage the goals of the project im working/building on
Per client, per project, manage the bugs
Per client, per project manage support/helpdesk stuff... and then
turn those into bugs
Automate the communication of tickets and monitor email for support
stuff.
I am down to hear ANY ideas/options you have no matter how radical. :)
thank you!
We have bought the Source Code licence to JitBit Helpdesk, my colleague is in the process of adding some extra fields to support our work-flow, I have been working Visual Studio and AnkhSVN integration so that we can see bugs from VS2008/VS2010.
The user interface is functional, it can be styled to our likings, the code is a bit haphazard but the database is simple enough.
I've been using Assembla -- No complaints, and it covers just about everything -- and it's free to try.
We use HEAT from FrontRange solutions for most of the things you've mentioned. They also offer other solutions, such as CRM, etc. Nicely customizable, easy to interface to, nice self-service modules, excellent monitoring tools and auto-escalations... (and no I don't work for them. I've just been very happy with them over the last 10 years.)
Have a look at Gemini & SimplyFi
Take a look at Checkvist - it may work for you for clients/goals/plans/priorities. It is general purpose outliner and task manager.
For tickets/bugs you probably need a real issue tracker, like YouTrack.
Disclaimer: I'm affiliated with both of them.

I use more than one machine for development in VS 2008. Is there a tool to automatically synchronize the snippets between the machines? Same concept of synchronizing browsers' bookmark.
If you have Vista and the LiveMesh client installed try this suggestion
Hope this helps.
The machines are in different locations, home and work so software like SyncToy won't work.
I don't know about SyncBack. It's not clear from their web site if it can be done over the web. I can't find the client software on MS's site for Live Mesh.
I will check ideas here:
http://lifehacker.com/372175/free-ways-to-synchronize-folders-between-computers
Try one of these:
1) http://www.getdropbox.com
2) https://www.foldershare.com/welcome.aspx
3) Microsoft Office Groove
I personally use SVN.
I tried foldershare and did all the setup and it's not syncing. Also when I chose On Demand type of synchronization instead of Automatic, I expected to see an option to trigger the synchronization manually and I couldn't find it. I didn't like the software.
Looked around and found syncplicity and it works fine.
Assuming you already know what files you need/want sync'd then some additional options to Mesh would be to tool-out. Maybe look at SyncToy or SyncBack to keeps these collection of files centralized - then have all your machines pull from the central data store.
There is also Live Sync (formery FolderShare) which works over the internet.
