Skud was one of the main hackers on Xen too; perhaps esmith would be
interested in shipping something like this with their intranet boxes.

I think she's a little busy at the moment with Reefknot and other stuff
though, but it's certainly worth a pitch. :)

Built with Zope, so supposedly it's rapidly developable blibble schplah.

That's a bummer. Have to admit it was early last year when I was looking at it.

There's this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/midnightxen/

 Registered: 2000-11-30 12:03


Midnight Xen is a project to finish the Xen project manager for zope. We also intend to
implement Gantt and Pert Chart features. The first priority is to make a build that 
works
right on
improt into Zope and then re-initiate the security later.


But, yeah:

 Activity Percentile: 0%

Is not looking good.

[SLUG] Project Management software

2001-04-18 Thread Jobst Schmalenbach


all,

one of our people just came to me asking me about 
"Project Management Software" and my immediate reaction was a "?"
and "oh no Microsoft" 

I havent got a clue and dont even know where to start 
Most of the client workstations are NT based but if I can I would
run parts of the software (databse based???) on a linux server
where people can attach to (using some kind of client).

I dont want to go the "normal microsoft way" as they normally produce
data files which cannot be read by anything else and they need to
stick to it for bloody ever.

could be:
  * linux based database server with web based clients?
  * oracle and ???
  * linux, php?


Any ideas will really be appreciated.

I would start by looking at your requirements;

* What type of project management do you need? 
eg. Scheduling, collaboration, tracking

* What type of project are you trying to manage?
eg. construction, software development. Is there
something industry specific out there already?

* Your budget =)

There are a lot of free web based packages you could use
or adapt. Bugzilla is handy and could be adapted as
a problem reporting/tracking tool for most projects.
If you are doing software development, I would give
SourceForge a go.

Of course you could also roll your own using some sort
of script/db hybrid. (php/mysql, asp/sqlserver)

RE: [SLUG] Project Management software

2001-04-18 Thread Jill Rowling

Some folks use Artemis. It's a bloated thick client, oracle based, that runs
on NT and probably other things. Managers seem to be able to use it.
Lotus has something too, and that prolly runs on Linux.
The freeware stuff isn't quite up to hardware engineering project management
although for software project management I think there are some potentially
nice things being developed... there are a few little ones on freshmeat.

I think Umar had some comments about large-ish project management s/w -
check last year's archive maybe. Wasn't Linux based though.

We are also looking at "Product Data Management" S/W. Again, haven't seen
anything for Linux. Some of the more decent ones run on big iron though.

I look at the offerings and see if the s/w is extensible, able to grow with
the company, supportable without having to hire a team of programmers, what
are the annual license fees, rock solid db backend, runs on various
platforms, web front end, who can get you out of a bind if it breaks, bla
bla bla. M$ doesn't even cut it.

Cheers,

Jill.
