Introducing the Redmine Google Docs Plugin

In our previous post, we wrote about how we use custom Redmine plugins to keep specifications up-to-date with our Redmine issues. Since we update the specifications with clients throughout a project, we need a way to keep developers in the loop. Automatically updating an issue page with the changes saves us unnecessary meetings and confusion. The most useful plugin we've been using was one that we wrote ourselves: redmine_google_docs. This plugin allows embedding of Google Spreadsheets and Google Documents in Redmine wiki pages and issues. This helps us spend more time focused on the project and less time on synchronizing documentation.
