Phabricator looks so useful, however the one time I tried setting up it up I found it to be an absolutely horrific experience. The documentation was so so and I could never figure out some weird issues with permissions that prevented me from ever getting it to work properly. I really wanted to like it, but I got the impression that so many comprises have been made to it to accommodate the needs of every single development team out there and their esoteric set ups. It would have been much better served saying no to features and promoting a plugin-based approach where you get a dead simple set up out of the box and then extend it as necessary. The fact that there are several dozen configuration guides doesn't help much: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/ https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/ I'd love it if someone started a project like phabricator but in community with a decent package manager and robust module ecosystem like node.js, python, go or ruby, with go or node.js being my first choices. Large monolithic projects with half-baked plugin management and profiteering seems to be a recurring theme in the PHP ecosystem (joomla, drupal, magento, wordpress). I feel that a project like this birthed in one of those other communities would promote a much simpler core product the can grow with your needs. I'm really not trying to hate but just vent some frustration. On the other hand, looking at the site today, it looks like it might have changed a lot since when I first tried it like 2 years ago. Might have to give it another go.
