Chiliproject is a fork of Redmine, a flexible project management web application written using Ruby on Rails. The reason they forked is basically a lack of effort from the main developer, see complete explanation here: Chiliproject: why fork?

## Installation

A number of packages are available in the AUR for installing Chiliproject:

- chiliproject
- chiliproject-git
- chiliproject-standalone

Each of these packages provides a different version of Chiliproject. The regular 'chiliproject' package should always provide the latest stable chiliproject release, built from a tarball. The 'chiliproject-git' package will provide whatever is HEAD on the chiliproject github master branch. The 'chiliproject-standalone' package only provides initscripts, user and group for running Chiliproject in a standalone manner, through webrick. This is mainly useful for testing your new setup. Please note that running Chiliproject through webrick is only meant for testing deployments, not for running in production.
