[apologies for cross-posting]
The CiviCRM Team is proud to announce the release of CiviCRM 1.0
Beta. We'd like to thank over 50 individuals whose contributions have
helped make the nonprofit, community-driven CiviCRM project a reality
(see the list below). If you have any questions, please contact David
Geilhufe at [EMAIL PROTECTED] A demo of the software
is available at http://www.openngo.org/.
CiviCRM is an open source, internationalized, nonprofit-centric
constituent relationship management core. It is designed to handle
common contact and relationship needs (CRM needs) in the nonprofit
and nongovernmental sectors. CiviCRM will form the basis of a number
of end-user targeted applications including CivicSpace 0.8.2 and the
Social Source Foundation's donor/constituent management, broadcast
email and online donations solution (if you are interested in being a
beta customer of this web-based solution, please contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
CiviCRM currently runs within the content management systems Drupal
and Mambo. CiviCRM will operate as a standalone application latter
this year.
CiviCRM 1.0 Beta is focused on developers and integrators. Truth in
Advertising: Organizations considering CiviCRM to meet specific
organizational needs should carefully evaluate whether CiviCRM 1.0 is
a viable solution for your organization (try the demo for yourself at
http://www.openngo.org/).

Features
****************************************
CiviCRM 1.0: Comprehensive Central Repository of Contact and
Relationship Information
-- Contacts: Individuals, Organizations & Households. Store common
nonprofit data types supporting donor management, case management,
voter, and advocacy applications.
-- Extensible and virtually unlimited fields. Unlimited locations,
addresses, phones, emails and custom data fields offer the
flexibility to map CiviCRM to the way you and your organization operate.
-- Relationships between contacts. Use common relationships like
volunteer, head-of-household and employee to understand the
connections between contacts, or create your own unique custom
relationship types.
-- Groups of contacts. Interact with collections of contacts by
putting them into groups. Groups are collections of individual
contact records.
-- Tags. Classify and categorize contacts with simple searchable tags.
-- Custom data. Define your own fields in the format that works for
you (text, radio buttons, drop downs, etc.)
