activeCollab Looks Promising

I've never been very good with project management tools. Most I've used seem too complex for my taste and never that easy to understand and use. Until now, my main experience has been with Basecamp online project management service, although I've not tried it out. It's a hosted service and you pay for it (the free option is too limited: only one project). Then I heard about good screencast explaining what it is and how it works (and with an interesting account of how activeCollab came about). Then I saw that PHP5 to run, so I also had to upgrade the PHP installation on my server from PHP4. That was almost a 1-click install as well, done in less than 5 minutes.) I'll be trying it out on a couple of projects. My 20-minute walk-around with it today shows me that this is a very promising collaboration tool. Will it help me become more organized and efficient? Clients and other collaborators, too? Time will tell. Tag: Yahoo! My Web | Furl Bookmark Murdok: Neville Hobson is the author of the popular Crayon. Visit Neville Hobson's blog:
