Phabricator VS OpenProject

Phabricator is a list of open source tools by Phacility that assist you in reviewing code. While you can download and install the suite of code review tools on your server, Phacility also provides a cloud-hosted version of Phabricator.

Phabricator was probably the best example of a large, complex PHP application with a high level of code quality and adherence to modern standards. Unfortunately, the primary developer behind that project has recently moved on to other things.

Phabricator is no longer actively maintained as of June 2021. The company that back this product (Phacility) is winding down operations.

My company has used Phabricator, which is an alternative to Azure Devops, for about 5 years. A few days ago they announced that the project won't be maintained anymore, so we are looking into alternatives. We have around 50 devs+product folks that use Phabricator at the moment.

- They was a lot of humor back then: https://secure.phabricator.com/T10000, https://secure.phabricator.com/T10054#151066, https://secure.phabricator.com/T6389

For all this, thanks Evan, and others. It was a nice adventure. I will really miss this...

... but for me that was expected, the contributions shrinked, the core team went from 3 to 1. External contribution was also more and more difficult and while I understand the reason (reviewing and maintaining is more expensive than doing all yourself), it build a model that only depend on the willingness of one man. Also lack of proper integration with Gitlab/Github (Nuance https://secure.phabricator.com/T12739), sticking to an old, pre React area JS framework called Javelin did make the end inevitable. I did see the contribution decrease overtime(see https://github.com/phacility/phabricator/graphs/contributors). In the last years, Phabricator was just a ghost to me, sadly...

I hopes that Evan is well, and the end of adventure is not to bitter.

I think too much depends on Phabricator for it too end like that, and I'm looking forward to @20after4 or others to fork. Maybe it will have a second breath.

Anyway, so long and thanks for the fish !

You also mention Gitlab is close to what you would like - maybe Phabricator is even closer: https://phacility.com/phabricator/

https://phacility.com/phabricator/ i think checks most of those boxes, maybe all.

Take a look at the Aphront library from the Phabricator source tree.

Not sure why. But feel free to recommend a better tool, since I will need something like this soon.

How about this? https://www.openproject.org/

OpenProject. It has a lot of features and they also give you professional support and features optionally if you need that. It has probably all the stuff that Jira has and has some plugins and integrations.

If you want all the features that Jira has to offer use OpenProject. They also have a compose file and a subreddit on /r/openproject.

As for the planning I'd probably use a project management tool. Usually I'm recommending simpler ones like Vikunja but for whole congresses I'd rather use something 'bigger' like OpenProject (installation doc and they are also on Reddit).

Its a free software bundle see here Open Project Link.
