Synchronize same project between two Gemini databases?

web-app

Is it possible to synchronize the tickets for a particular project between two separate instances of Gemini? In other words, the same project, with the same tickets exists in two Gemini databases, and all changes made to one project are replicated in the other and vice versa.

The reason I ask is this: We manage all projects for our in house software in one Gemini database. For a couple of the projects we employ consultants to do the development. The consultants would like their work to show up in their Gemini database rather than having to connect to ours.

Is this possible?

I think that the desktop app can help you a lot with this kind of issue.

Your consultants can download and cache the issues they are working on once and synch when they need to.

Otherwise, you could use Gemini web services to do the synch between the database. Look at our import utility: http://www.countersoft.com/Default.aspx?PageID=58

You would have to use a custom field for a unique key as the gemini key gets allocated sequentially to every issue unrelated to a project so if either party had other none shared projects then this key would get out of sync.

Using Web services it would be possible to auto generate this new key and store in a custom field then periodically compare all the issues between the two systems.  I guess the real key would be to find a trigger for doing this which could be done using a "pluggin" although no idea about this area.
