Podcast episode 014: dotProject collaborative project management software [27:09m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (3517)

Today I talk with Karen Chisholm, from Melbourne, Australia, who serves as an admin for dotproject, an free, open source, web-based project management application designed to provide project layout and control functions.  dotProject aims to provide the project manager with a tool to manage team tasks, communication, and file sharing.  Within the application there are several core modules that allows the user to track work by company, project, task, and contact.  Additional free add-on modules allow additional functionality, such as importing Microsoft Project Tasks into dotProject.

During the discussion, Karen and I discuss:

• The history of dotProject and Karen’s background.
• How dotProject is different from other collaborative software.
• Some of the modules available in dotProject.
• What is typically involved in installing dotProject on any server.
• New features and applications being creating by Karen’s group at the moment.
• And finally, how to convert user donations into goats for a good cause!
