## Overview

Redmine is a Rails-based project-management web application. Users enter through the web routes to manage issues and projects, then use planning and collaboration features such as Gantt charts, calendars, time tracking, wikis, and forums. Query models provide a substantial internal layer for configurable filtering and listings. The route excerpt directly establishes several controller dispatches; other capability links are documented only at product level, so unsampled implementation relationships are not asserted.

Main entry points: [`config/routes.rb`](https://github.com/nixhal33/redmine/blob/master/config/routes.rb) (Web routes), [`app/controllers/issues_controller.rb`](https://github.com/nixhal33/redmine/blob/master/app/controllers/issues_controller.rb) (Issue management), [`app/models/issue_query.rb`](https://github.com/nixhal33/redmine/blob/master/app/models/issue_query.rb) (Issue queries), [`app/controllers/gantts_controller.rb`](https://github.com/nixhal33/redmine/blob/master/app/controllers/gantts_controller.rb) (Gantt planning)
