projects I work on when I get time. They have just gotten to the
point where post-it notes won't do anymore.</p>
<p>I assumed that there was somewhere an open source bug tracking
system I could use. And I simply assumed that the database system
would be on my own machine.</p>
<p>I haven't found the spot where lighthouse explicitly states
where the bug database is stored, on your machine or mine.</p>
<p>Also, I signed up at help.lighthouseapp.com but find, I think,
that I should signup somewhere else if I really want to use the
system. Is this right? It doesn't say so explicitly.<br></p>
<p>There must be some reason for two signups but it is not
obvious.</p>
<p>Can you recommend an open source bug tracking system I can use
for my tiny-team projects?</p></div>fredistictag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/142512008-10-29T08:06:56Z2009-06-20T20:03:15ZGeneral Confusion<div><p>Lighthouse is a hosted service. We handle the application and
our awesome friends over at <a href="http://engineyard.com">Engine
Yard</a> handle the hosting and database, you just have to use it.
You can create a local system which uses the Lighthouse API, but
that's a bit overkill.</p>
<p>help.lighthouseapp.com is a new system we are working on for
application support, at the moment it is a pain to have to
signup/login outside of lighthouse, but think this is only
temporary while we continue to build the new system.</p>
<p>To signup for Lighthouse, you would start by choosing a plan:
http://sera.lighthouseapp.com/plans which will probably be the free
personal plan if you are just giving Lighthouse a whirl for the
first time.</p>
<p>Lighthouse houses some pretty awesome projects, such as <a href=
"http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Ruby on Rails</a>, <a href=
"http://mootools.net/">MooTools</a>, and <a href=
"http://www.sproutcore.com/">SproutCore</a> to name a few...</p>
<p>We also recommend Lighthouse first. We built it because other
ticket tracking applications did not fit our needs, turns out a lot
of people felt the same way and Lighthouse kind of grew to become
what it is today.</p></div>Will Duncantag:help.lighthouseapp.com,2008-09-20:Comment/142512008-10-29T11:54:56Z2009-06-20T20:03:16ZGeneral Confusion<div><p>A whirl for the first time -- is what I will do. Thanks.</p></div>fredistic
