Thanks guys for your replies, that was very useful.<br>
PivotalTracker looks very interesting. A bit concerned with their
licensing though (it's fee now, but they "may change their minds in the
future"). If they wanted to give it for free, why not release it under
an open source license?<br>
Anyway, given you can export and there apparently is an API, I think
the risk starting to use it is a reasonable one.<br>
I'm already used to the open collaboration with my clients, and have
given them access to the project management tools I've been using
before, but I feel they're getting a bit dated, given they're not
specifically scrum tools.<br>
<br>
I'll check out the GPL one as well (Taskboard). As a grumpy old FLOSS
evangelist, that still appeals a lot to me. Actually, I'm not *that*
old and not that grumpy either :)<br>
<br>
Gwyn, interesting! Looks really neat as well! What's the business model
going to be (if any)? Increasing price as number of projects grow, or
something new and exciting?<br>

I'm just wondering if any of you could share your experience with
specific tools for managing user stories, either as a separate system
or as part of an Agile/SCRUM backlog/project management system?<br>
I can't do it on paper as I'm working with a distributed team. We'll be
using Scrum (apart from the standups being virtual) and TDD.<br>
As a side note, we'll probably end up using HAML and SASS as well,
which I have to say the first time I saw I was thinking "what on earth
it this useless annoying rubbish?", but after doing my due diligence I
was
thinking "wow, this is really DRY! Definitely the right way to do
things - I just <b>have
to</b> use this!"<br>
<br>
I'm considering a number of options, ranging from writing a simple tool
myself to using a paid SaaS system. I would prefer an open source
solution though, as I'd like the possibility of retaining the data (and
the ability to browse it) indefinitely without having to keep paying an
SaaS provider forever (and depend on their continuous operation).
However if I need to, I'll still consider SaaS.<br>
<br>
Any comments or tips, positive or negative, would be greatly
appreciated!<br>
Ronny.</tt>
