Who/What is affected:

• The upgrades requires a downtime of both subversion servers

ZMAW-Users only:

From Tuesday, November 12th 2013 on the password for your ldap account on this site will be changed to your login password, the old "e-mail"-password won't work anymore. Please see Rainer Weigles e-mail to the zmaw-all mailinglist for details. In case of problems please contact help-it@zmaw.de.

Dear user of the ZMAW Redmine Service,

due to users' demand, and in our endless efforts to make our Redmine system as useful as possible, we would like to re-configure the system to allow email notification not only for changes in Issues (as it is now), but also for News, Documents, Wikis, Forums, and Files. This means that you may e.g. go to your favourite Forum to click the 'watch' button and get an email notification whenever someone posts a new message.

While this allows for more flexibility in using Redmine for your projects, we definitely want to avoid 'Redmine spamming' for those of you who prefer checking their favourite pages themselves, or use the Atom feeds to stay up-to-date.

So we would like you to take some minutes to read the following paragraphs about the potential impact of this change for your daily work.

The change will become effective on Friday, February 15th, at noon (UTC).

Of course, if you have further questions or feedback, feel free to contact us at any time (but only expect us to answer during German office hours...)

Best regards, Your ZMAW Redmine Administration Team

Redmine supports git repositories, but to use them from another server is not straightforward. A new wiki entry in Guidelines tells you as project manager how things work.
