If a Redmine installation is not customized, it's a demo. Even Redmine.org is customized (the ad on the sidebar, the plugins directory, and so on). All users prefer to customize applications that they are using. Many users of Redmine install some third-party plugins and a theme, but this can be considered a part of the installation and configuration. The real customization is what we discussed in this chapter.

Probably, some of you will never need the things that were described here (though I hope that the chapter was still interesting to you). But those of you who will will be able to save time and money by performing customization properly.
