suggestions for task management tool between members?
Hi there
I am looking for a CMS where a user who needs a task in the project done can open a request for something, someone else can assign it to themselves, etc.
Basically a way to track requests, assign them to one or different people.
I thought of using something like Mantis Bug tracker, at first glance it looks excellent to my use case, but only problem is, I will need to modify a lot of languages files and other things mainly because it "bug" tracker, so I need to modify "bug" and "issue" words to task task/request for example, remove "reproducibility" and questions about OS etc as such things are not relevant in our context...
It is surely feasible in reasonable time, but just curious to know if others have any good suggestions for such tools that fit my use-case without having to customize it a lot
Thanks

Have a look:

Edit:
Second thought, even a private Github/Gitlab project should answer your needs.
I use GitHub Project. Can link to issues, PR and assign people
You can use Atlassian Jira if you have less than 10 members. It is always free in that case.
Alternative is redmine, which is open source and can be self hosted.
I use redmine - it is pretty extensive and as mentioned above - open source and free :-)
You can look into Asana or Monday.com (both of which also have free tiers available).
I use Asana and I find it very useful.
The free version of Asana is available for teams of up to 15 people.
Trello?
I have been using Trello for quiet some time now and its very helpful to organize my daily tasks.
Thanks all for your suggestions!
I checked out a few
That thing is nowhere user-friendly, it is made for nuclear scientists in 90s, should not be used now.

Hell you even need to read 3 books (see end of the homepage) and 2 PhDs to use it.
Cloud based apps: github projects, jira, monday, etc, won't cut it, we need something self-hosted, our data on our servers, and that can be extended with plugins as I am going to add few features + where we have control of language files so that they can translate it to their language.

This is indeed a great list! thanks
I have my eyes on 2 interesting candidates from that list.
Thanks all
We used to use Jira in our organization but I don't know much about it since we have our PMs to deal/manage anything related to it
Gitlab has a service desk and an issue tracker which seems to be a good fit: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/service_desk.html
If you want to use a low-specced VPS and Gitlab won't cut it, I'd suggest installing gitea which has a similar issue tracker.
for me, all of that sounds like a support ticket system.
like this: https://osticket.com/
Alternatively can be organized with xenforo / ipb forums easily too.
(out the box, private tickets, public, etc, with assign features)
That's if we're talking about , and you have .
If are we talking about some kind of planning and tracking who did what, when, how, and how to assign what - I have a few thoughts in my mind related to that:

As for OPs question:
https://kanboard.org/ (PHP, stable, first release 2017)
https://planka.app/ (JS, new, first release 2021)
You can edit both. If your edits can be useful to others, I suggest contributing it back to either of these projects.
Thanks all for your valuable input !

This, my friend, is a great suggestion that I thank you very much for.
To make it clear, we need something internal, between team members (example, translation team, external booking team, IT, etc) not clients or something, a request maker, can be in another scenario the one solve someone else's ticket
we need something where user can open a ticket and put it under some category and/or assign to some team.
Users of that team get notified by email. One of them assigns the ticket to himself (or a team admin/system admin assigns it to him).
This platform seems to have what I need, the creation process is a bit dumb as it considers you are making a ticket for some client, but user will fill it for himself as if he is a "client". + it has the languages we need, so that's great!
Current version does not support themes by default (have to overwrite core files), but I think I can live with that? As it offers most things we need and I won't need to hack the languages files to modify terms like "issues" "bugs" to "request".
So far seems to be the best candidate.
I will still look into other suggestions, specially that feature of gitlab @stevewatson301 suggested and maybe I will update the thread if anyone cares.
Again thanks all for the help
Linear is the best
Does not seem like self-hosted, paid cloud based , not CMS/ FOSS.
No languages.
Issue tracker, not general purpose.
it doesn't fit any of the requirements at all.
