Yes, I also have a vested interest in keeping this (PROJECTMGR) in the releases. It is part of our ORRTIZ:COM solution portfolio for our customers and we use it internally. And I have contributed to the improvement of the component.
We, at ORRTIZ:COM, even use an extension to the code base to ensure that it also works for fixed price and internal projects. This extension includes generating the gl transactions regarding the cost price of each hour registered regarding a project. We also use the LDAP component to connect to our directory server (Apache Directory Server).
