So are EllisLab still using ActiveCollab 1.0 (Now 1.1)?

I’m going to take it for a test run this week…

So where is the status of this? I just ran across this thread today and got pretty excited. The more things we can wrap into EE, the better—one price, unlimited use.

I’d love to check this implementation out—any active links?

The demo link (posted October 2007) is unfortunately not working at the moment.

I can’t seem to wrench myself away from Basecamp despite it’s many flaws. It’s so simple to use!

I just wish they had sub-tasks and didn’t ask for such a high price for time tracking.

I found ProjectPier... it might be useful for some people. Its actually a fork of the activeCollab project when it used to be free. ProjectPier is open source and a good option for those people who are still paying for Basecamp.

I started using projectpier. Seems like a good option for me right now. I don’t have enough freelance projects to justify basecamp. If I was full time freelance…

Careful if you try projectpier, the latest version has a bug where it doesn’t send email notifications on message comments after the first one. Easy fix though.

Count me in the Project Pier club, installed it in just minutes on an IIS 6/Plesk CP hosted account.
Set these files with write permissions the script walks you through, but setting permissions on these was all there was to it.
Make writeable:
# Error: /config/config.php is not writable
# Error: /public/files is not writable
# Error: /cache is not writable
# Error: /upload is not writable

thanks for the nudge.
thanks jez777 for the tip about the broken comments.
Fixing the 11 occurences on 3 pages and it’s up and running.
all that talk of having to use version control to apply a patch had me worried strange they let an error like that go on for months now, bizarre really.

I just had an article published today on PM Hut about the Ideal Project Management Tool, the author of this article is actually the CEO of a prominent PM software company, the article, however, is not biased, it just lists the features that such a tool should have in order to shine as a PM Tool in these days (where collaboration is the key).

Since I run PM Hut (where the only topic is Project Management), I do have the chance to test a lot of online PM Tools. Most of them, at this very moment, look great, and work great, but they still lack used features currently available in desktop applications. That’s why most PMs these days use both online and offline tools, which is somehow cumbersome.

I think online PM tools, at this very moment, are not mature enough to present a complete replacement for desktop applications, they’re getting close though!
