We have a database system that processes data from source files into some outputs.
This "process" is continuously being updated, enhanced, cleaned and of course executed by a number of people around the company.
To keep track of who changes what, when and why we need something like a Bug tracker but not quite; more like a Version tracker which is updated manually. Something like a CHANGES file but more enhanced such as being web-based, searchable, multi-user etc. I figured that we cannot use a bugtracker such as Mantis because it's bug-driven, eg you first have to have a bug under which all is categorized. I just want changes to be logged always, no matter if there is a bug or not.
Can anyone advise me which software I could try?
Use a Google Doc spreadsheet, shared with the group. It's a very simple solution but offers a lot of flexibility with implementation. Sample columns idea: issue name, logger, logged date, resolved date, status.
