Resources

The project has made a number of additional online tools available to facilitate the software development process.

GitLab

We have chosen to create a GitLab service as our online git repository management system. This provides us with the possibility of creating unlimited private repositories for our users, something that is essential when considering software with restrictive licensing or the Intellectual Property (IP) requirements of our partners (particularly those in industry).

Redmine

Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and issue tracking tool. It allows users to man-age multiple projects and associated sub-projects. It features project wikis and forums, time tracking, and flexible, role-based access control. It includes a calendar and Gantt charts to aid visual representation of projects and their deadlines. Redmine integrates with various version control systems and includes a repository browser and a diff viewer. We provide a Redmine service to our users to facilitate collaboration on larger scale projects.

CodiMD

In geographically distributed collaborative projects, regular meetings are essential. To facilitate taking minutes in such meetings we have created a CodiMD service. CodiMD lets you create real-time collaborative markdown notes. It is inspired by Hackpad, Etherpad and similar collaborative editors.

ShareLatex

ShareLaTeX is an online LaTeX editor that allows real-time collaboration and online compiling of projects to PDF format. In comparison to other LaTeX editors, ShareLaTeX is a server-based application, which is accessed through a web browser. We have created a ShareLatex service for use by the E-CAM community to facilitate easier collaboration on project-related papers.
