Project/Open V2.0 Release We are proud to announce Project/Open V2.0 for immediate release (http://www.project-open.org/ -> Download). Project/Open is an open-source web-based "project resource planning" system (Project-ERP) with project rooms and tools for managing clients, invoices, time and cost. It is designed for companies in the consulting, advertizing and translation sectors. Project/Open is based on the OpenACS (http://openacs.org/) community system and runs on any recent Linux or Solaris system. It currently requires Oracle 8.1.7, but a port to PostgreSQL is planned for the end of this year. OpenACS platform is the successor of the ArsDigita ACS system. OpenACS and Project/Open are based on the AOLServer web- and application server, the TCL scripting language and a relatively simple component-architecture. This combination allows for solid and high-performance web applications (www.aol.com, www.greenpeace.org, www.photo.net, ...) while keeping the learning time low (less then a week for an experienced web developer). Our dream is to establish open-source software in the ERP market as serious competition to the commercial players. However, ERP software is usually boring stuff, so that we have to count on small IT companies as members of an open-source-community, instead of individual developers. This is the reason why we allow the creation of proprietary modules.
