For those of you using ActiveCollab 0.7.1 and been itching for version 1.0 will have quite a disappointment. Not only does they stray from open source, but they also place a big price tag on it namely $1999. If they stay as open source as they are then they could very much be half as big as joomla. But then again, it’s their choice.
I’ve check out their blog and discovered that some people are forking the project to create an Open Source version of it. It’s quite ironic really, the project started out as a free and open alternative to Basecamp and now there’s going to be another open project to be an alternative for ActiveCollab. Let’s just hope it goes well! I’ll try to help all I can.
For those of you unaware of what activecollab is: Activecollab is a web-based project management application that clones basecamp.
