dotProject

http://www.dotproject.net/

dotProject is a volunteer supported Project Management application. There is no "company" behind this project, it is managed, maintained, developed and supported by a volunteer group and by the users themselves.

For more about the product, what it does, etc please follow the links to the doc site at the top of site.

The software is free to anyone who would like to download it. Day to day support is provided free by volunteers.

If you would like to see the system in operation - use the Demo link in the modules list to the left top of the site.

If you would like to download the package use the downloads link on the top right. Please be aware that the CVS snapshot is guaranteed to be UNSTABLE and should not be used on a production site or if you are not willing to have to do some work at the code level.

If you are looking for support, to ask a question or to check to see if issues have been raised by others - use the support link at the top right to access our support forums. PLEASE do not send Private Messages to the site admins or other participants on the site - this just means that you are trying to jump the priority queue, that any answers you received are selfishly then not shared with the rest of the user community OR that you may ask the wrong person who cannot help you. Priority Support is available at a cost - login to the support forums and use your UserCP from there to Subscription details and pricing.

If you have a bug or a Feature Suggestion that you would like to log - use the bugs link at the top right of the site. PLEASE check that the issue hasn't been logged before to save your hardworking admin a lot of time and trouble. Mantis has recently been updated to include multiple projects - use the drop down list at the top right hand side of the screen in the bug tracker to select the correct project as per the news article on the front of the Bugs and Suggestions system.

If you are looking for documentation, hints and tips - please use the doc site link at the top right. Please DO NOT use comments either here or on the documentation site, to ask questions or raise issues - the chances of anybody finding your comment are pretty remote because that's what the forums are for.
