Sam, thanks for the spec... :) I'm working on a collaboration tool that may eventually do a good chunk of this. My application is starting off desktop-based, and web interfaces will be added as appropriate. My first deliverable would focus on being a personal log, and handling trouble tickets. The philosophy behind it is that as you work you enter your day's events as if it was a engineer's log. - traveled to client (60mi) - made these decisions - need to follow up on this request / (action item). By adding a little structure to the log entries, you can harvest the numbers later. By adding IM connectivity, you have a collaboration tool.
Today, I use First Class (a proprietary collaboration tool that amounts to a set of mailing lists + wikis) Task Coach (tracking time spent on projects) Bugzilla (issue tracking,) a second internal bug tracking system, tons of text files, and very heavy use of copy & paste. I've got my own reporting tool which reads TaskCoach files & emails invoices, and also e-mails the mailing lists in first class with my daily progress... but there has to be a better way. A friend of mine swears by Basecamp... but that's not totally FOSS... and doesn't handle the money side, and isn't hosted internally.. ok, forget Basecamp. Ideally whatever you find will have a similar UI though. Let us know what you find! -Jim Carroll On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 1:58 PM, sth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > So, my esteemed partner (Zach Chambers) and I are on the hunt for a > package to unify the various systems we use at ClearBearing to run our > operations.
