Does anyone know of or recommend any web-based online collaboration applications that we can install on our server? Something like basecamp or similar, but not hosted?
Thanks.

I used to use Tasks. I switched to Basecamp after I found out about it, but it is a nice(ish) self-hosted solution. If you’re looking for all of Basecamp’s feature or it’s simple interface, you’ll be disappointed.
dotproject seems to be another popular one. I haven’t used it though.
What’s the reason for deciding against a hosted solution? Cost? Security? Something else?

This List might keep you busy.

Arun - I’m always a bit hesitant to sign-up for a monthly services. A little here and there adds up over time.

Very true. I just wish there were decent self-hosted solutions. If you find something useful, do post back. In the little experience I have in looking for a self-hosted, project collaboration applications, they all fall short (waaay short) of Basecamp.

I had actually been trying dotproject recently, but the poor design kills me. Will certainly post back if I learn of something although I’m not very optimistic at this point, unfortunately.

Exactly. Functionally, there are some that I might be able to use. But I can’t stand poorly designed interfaces. I guess that makes me a design snob - but whatever.
With all the 37Signals copycat inspired UIs out there, you would think someone would have developed something usable. Not that I’m condoning that kind of thing. 😉
