integration with PM tools like BaseCamp. GoPlan, ActiveCollab, or Issue Trackers like Fixx, FogBugz, Unfuddle, Redmine, Lighthouse ?
Are there any plans to integrate with other collaborative development tools ie. PM tools like BaseCamp. GoPlan, ActiveCollab, or Issue Trackers like Fixx, FogBugz, Unfuddle, Redmine, Lighthouse etc?
Having the ability to attach mockups to Milestones & Tickets that can be instant opened would be great, even better if they can be annotated or collaberatively edited with revisions.
A big request I know but I feel this would consolidate Balsamiq as THE UI prototyping tool of choise for most developers using these other products

Inappropriate?The more of these inquiries I see for support for various "otherware" the more I think it would be better for Balsamiq to have a published API, or simply good documentation for integration - maybe just a couple more options in the command-line. The FOSS market is pretty good about doing its own integration when there is something to plug into.
As I understand it, the basic functions require Balsamiq to do the following:
- Accept request for New mockup
- Accept existing filename
- Save BMML/PNG to specific paths and perhaps filenames provided at launch
If the response to that is "there are more things that need to be done", then just document it - that becomes the beginning of an API.
From there it would be up to product-specific developers to add their own mechanisms to supply Balsamiq with what it needs during launch and to embed results in their UI when Balsamiq closes.
Personally I'd prefer to see more development on the core product than on extensions into other products which are subject to break as soon as some of those other products have a new release or change their API, etc. Let each team work on their own specialty.
But if you do continue down this path, plesase add to the list : WordPress, Simple Machines Forum, and Mantis bug tracker. LOL -
Inappropriate?Hi guys. I am planning on publishing an API as part of the hosted version of Mockups, which we are working on at the moment. Give us 6 months or so. We are also going to keep integrating with other tools ourselves...FogBugz is next on the list for instance.

Inappropriate?Just an update to let you know that we are now looking at Balsamiq integration with our bug tracker, fixx. This is an FYI for anyone interested in this post.1 Comment

To update this point, it looks like integration will depend on either the hosted version being available or Balsamiq choosing to integrate fixx through their end as per the FAQ below. -
Inappropriate?Hi all, I just added a FAQ about this topic here today: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mock... - I'd love your feedback on the copy if you have any questions about it.

Inappropriate?Thanks Peldi. I have updated our issue for this and will keep track of when the hosted version becomes available or Balsamiq makes the decision to include fixx integration.
