web2Project is a Free Open Source business oriented Project Management System (PMS) built in PHP.
Website: http://web2project.net
Forums: http://forums.web2project.net/
Contact: Keith Casey (keith .at. caseysoftware .dot. com)
web2Project can use your help with:
* Developer – one more team member would round things out nicely.
* Forum/user support – http://forums.web2project.net/ – We need another moderator-level person on the forums to handle the less insidery tech support questions that require some PHP understanding.
* Wiki Master – http://wiki.web2project.net/ – 90% of the the stuff on the wiki is pretty good but there should be more of it. This includes faq, docs, screenshots, grammar, etc. I think a sharp person could combine this with the Forum/user support from above as it’s a lot of the same info/work.
* Designer – Our html/css is crap. Any help that we could get in cleaning that up would be fantastic.
* A WP (or Drupal) person that would give us a hand switching the main site from phpNuke and making/tweaking a nice theme.
* Bloggers – People who are interested in writing about the software. Preferably they’re already users or evaluating it, but discussion about it in general would be a great thing.
* Developer – one more team member would round things out nicely. Our official project lead is out for personal issues and won’t be back for a while and I think it’s starting to negatively affect the community.
* Forum/user support – http://forums.web2project.net/ – We need another moderator-level person on the forums to handle the less insidery tech support questions that require some php understanding.
* Wiki Master – http://wiki.web2project.net/ – 90% of the the stuff on the wiki is pretty good but there should be more of it. This includes faq, docs, screenshots, grammar, etc. I think a sharp person could combine this with the Forum/user support from above as it’s a lot of the same info/work.
* Designer – Our html/css is crap. Any help that we could get in cleaning that up would be fantastic. We *don’t* need someone to tell us how bad it is. We know that… now we’re trying to solve the problem.
* A WP (or Drupal) person that would give us a hand switching the main site from phpNuke and making/tweaking a nice theme. We only have ~10 content items and ~5 users, but I don’t have the time to do it. Eventually it’d be nice to move our forums to the same system. And no, no one has defined what a “nice” theme is.
* Bloggers – People who are interested in writing about the software. Preferably they’re already users or evaluating it, but discussion about it in general would be a great thing.
