Description

Note: Was COMDEV-89

Apache Bloodhound is a software development collaboration tool, including issue tracking, wiki and repository browsing (see: http://bloodhound.apache.org). Bloodhound extends Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) with multiple product support, advanced search functionality, ticket relations, a simpler installer and sleeker user interface.

Problem:

Trac stores files, e.g., ticket attachements, on a local filesystem. This is not ideal in hosted environments, where managing local storage on virtual servers is undesirable.

Proposed solution:

Enhance Bloodhound so that it can store data on remote storage services, e.g., Amazon S3, Google Drive, etc.

Skills needed:

Bloodhound and Trac are written in Python, so a moderate dose of Python programing skills are required.
