Programming Team Website

[galaxygaleas]

Hey All, looking for a good website to host a programming sub-team group page. This would contain information about what we are doing, and how the progress is coming with our sub-teams (autonomous and teleop) I wanted suggestions of hosting sites that are good to track progress and incorporate admin status on more than one member (sorta like this but without the need for a game platform), or if I should just fix up a basic weebly or other website type to fit my needs. Really interested in keeping the season organized for my programmers. Any suggestions?

Does a system like WordPress fit your needs?

I would suggest using github and if you want a higher level view, integrate waffle.io into the issue tracker.

Don't forget github, also supports wikis and static pages.

We have used Unfuddle.com for several years now. It provides our SVN repository for version control of code and documentation, a ticket system for task/work allocation, milestones to track tickets associated with software releases, and a message board.

We are now starting to use Slack to supplement the Unfuddle features. The students have built a channel/bot that gets all the notices from Unfuddle and pushes them to a Slack channel.

It sounds like you are looking for project management tools, rather than a webpage specifically. If that's the case then look into Trello, Basecamp, or one of the other project management tolls discussed here.

If you are looking for something to integrate your project management with the actual work you do, that will be a bit more tricky but I know you can use GitHub's services in parallel to Trello or something. Maybe someone else can post something with tighter integration, but you can always simple post GitHub links in your Trello work-items.

I would suggest using Slack, Trello, and GitHub. Make a Slack team, use their integration feature to have it post updates when your GitHub has changes made. Make a Trello team and have a board to track tasks to-do, in progress, and done for your programming team.

Then I'd suggest to expand the Slack and Trello beyond just your programmers and get everyone talking and using the same platforms. It's really powerful.

Then, you don't have to build your own platform or webpage and everyone can contribute in some way, and some can be admins, etc.
