[arg_discuss] Online Project Management Software for ARGs

[Jorge Guberte]

OpenAtrium is a new tool, based on Drupal, free and open-source. I
tested it a few days ago and apparently is very good.
Their website says: "Open Atrium is an intranet in a box that has
group spaces to allow different teams to have their own conversations.
It comes with six features - a blog, a wiki, a calendar, a to do list,
a shoutbox, and a dashboard to manage it all."
