Redmine

We're odd in that we use Redmine for a broad, all-purpose project tracking and client ticketing system rather than just a software development project manager. It works amazingly well for that but I found myself stealing glances at other products with a Milestone and Roadmap feature.

Then I remembered something about how if you define a Software "Version", a Roadmap tab will magically appear. All I had to do then was edit the english language file to change "Version" to the more generic "Milestone" and we now have an all-purpose PM system that can still be used for Revision #'s but also for projects that are not software dev! BTW,tThe Roadmap view to track milestones is fantastic.

If the goal is to position Redmine more broadly, I propose changing this naming convention or else make it a configurable option (e.g. checkbox in Setup to indidcate whether using it for Software Dev or General Purpose PM).

I also changed "Issue" to "Ticket" in the language file but I understand that one is more of a personal preference.
