  1. Domain masking - assembla.mysite.com

    It would be great and would look more professional if I could have access to assembla and all the tools from my own domain, such as

    assembla.mysite.com

    or for particular space

    assembla.mysite.com/space.

    Right now its assembla.com/spaces/space.

    It would be much better if clients would have the impression the tool is on our site.

      We cannot offer *.mysite.com addresses because we will not be able to offer SSL on those sites, and SSL is increasingly important. Without SSL, any user of a wireless network is vulnerable to password sniffing and session hijacking. We DO offer mysite.assembla.com, with your own branding, on ALL portfolios, public and private.

    • gantt diagram

      integration of gantt functionality would be great, even stand alone at the beginning would be of great benefit

              We currently allow linking tickets across spaces if you are part of a portfolio. You can add relations to tickets from Space A to Space B.
              We are working on a plan to allow tickets to be shared across spaces.

            • Subtract Hours Invested from Work Hours Remaining

              It would be great if this feature will copy the XPLanner (xplanner.org) functionality. At the very beginning the task have ORIGINAL ESTIMATION and HOURS REMAINING equal to ORIGINAL ESTIMATION. When you enter time entries (how many did you work on the task) the ORIGINAL ESTIMATION remains as it was and HOURS REMAINING is suggested as ORIGINAL ESTIMATION minus (-) TIME SPENT\WORKED.
              But! You can modify it if it doesnt reflect the situation (if you incorrectly estimated the task). That very cool and suitable.

              Also the Scrum sprint and Scrum burndownchart can be built on this information.

              Also XPlanner allows us…

                  We have the new APIhttp://api-docs.assembla.com If anyone has any interest in creating this plugin, then it can be done – we do not have the manpower right now to create it, however, we will support this creation and help promote it, blog about it and host it if someone else starts it. There might even be a free plan available for 1 year to anyone who creates such a plugin. Just saying . . . .

                • Standalone timer applicaton

                  - select space & ticket, press START/STOP to count time for this ticket
                  - aplication is always present in system tray, logging to assembla is not needed for every ticket
                  - change status of ticket from the application
                  - link to the ticket in assembla

                    • Allow more granular privileges on space contents

                      Allow to define "Access Levels" on each content instance (ticket, wiki page, milestone, etc.) created in a space, then allow to group space users and assign none/read/write/delete privileges to each group for each access level. This should be an optional additional granularity to current module level access privileges setting.

                      • Creating a payment system integrated with Time tool

                        It would be very nice to have as an owner possibility of connecting team member with his $/per hour price. Paychecks would be easy as one two three. Additional feature would be setting price in a period of time for ex. Martin 01.10 - 02.12 10$/h, Martin 03.12.08 - 05.01.09 15$/h (because it's christmas time). I would be very easy to control bonus hours, in one listing.

                            Agile Planner is nice, but only Sprint Backlog has the burndown chart. There needs to be similar thing for release planning and product backlog burndown and team velocity.

                              • Multiple members as ticket assignees

                                It would be very important to have an additional custom field type for tickets allowing the selection of multiple team members.
                                The 'Assigned to' system field should also be of this type!
                                Proposal for GUI: A) either a list with multiple selections B) combo boxes - a new one appearing each time a user in the previous one has been set.

                                  There are many ways to make UI clean and beautiful. Look at GitHub and Bitbucket interface designs and concepts, they are more usable and obvious, as Assembla user interface is.

                                  • Implement tagging for tickets

                                    Tickets should have a 'tags' field allowing multi-dimensional categorization and filtering. A 'tag cloud' type interface should be displayed or accessible from existing ticket list / filter views. Ideally this would display ticket counts next to each tag, and clicking on a tag would add it to the current filter (refining counts for sub-tags).

                                    This functionality will greatly assist in dealing with large projects. With a sizable backlog, the tag interface can improve searching/navigation. The ticket counts by tag also help give visibility on common issues and can provide guidance for prioritization.

                                    • Custom ticket workflows

                                      Allow for the creation of custom ticket workflows so you are not confined to the 4 current statuses (new, ready to test, fixed, and invalid) so that tickets can be adapted to any company's process.

                                        We released custom status. You can edit the list of status values. This will support many new workflows.

                                        In future releases we will add some workflow rules to run on status transitions. For instance, it is a common request to assign a ticket to a tester when you set a ticket to test status. The current system does not support this type of rule, but we have it on the roadmap support this type of rule.

                                      • Time Reporting: Add Custom Field Selector

                                        In the Time panel ( tab ) the time reporting customization should have the option to select one or more Custom Fields for all Tickets.
                                        In our case, each ticket has a Custom Field 'SOW' that needs to be included for a time report.

                                        • "milestone" filter in time reports

                                          You can't get total time by user/users in milestone now. It would be very useful if the results could be grouped by milestone.
