AMI is using Redmine for tracking product issues. There are 3 projects available: AMI Group, Appion and Leginon. AMI Group is only available to users that are AMI Lab members. It holds anything that is not specifically related to Appion or Leginon or is not intended for public view. Although there is not a clear division in the software code between Appion and Leginon, we use these as project names to be consistent with how the products are presented to the rest of the world. Leginon is loosely everything that has to do with image capture and Appion relates to image processing. The single svn repository holding the code for both products is available from both Redmine projects.
