I’ve been using the Mac’s Keychain feature, even though it’s a little buggy. I’m fearful of relying on a tool, but I also need some insurance against theft and forgetfulness.

I haven’t used Redmine. I looked at it a few years ago and it seemed more like the old-school project managers… gantt charts (which I don’t believe in as a tool), time trackers, etc.

I like Pivotal Tracker a great deal and use it on all my current projects for managing the software deliverables. Pivotal does require a certain willingness to “let go” a little of target dates for delivering things; some people hate that, but I think it’s a better reflection of the reality that people are bad at estimating work and predicting dates.

I’m also playing with Trello which, so far, I like a great deal for managing lists in general. (Not just lists of software deliverables.) I’m impressed by its simplicity and I think I can use it for a lot of collaborative list-building needs that Google Docs and Spreadsheets previously filled.

As far as remembering passwords give 1password a try.
How would you compare pivotal to Redmine?

I forgot to namespace my helper to the admin namespace. In stead if module PagesHelper it should be Admin::PagesHelper.

You saved my sunday afternoon!

Thanks
