activeCollab
Late last week, I had my host move me to a new server that supports php5, and I installed activeCollab so that we could start trying it out for some church planning things (namely the website and Apex). Previously, we were using Basecamp for Apex planning, and it worked great, but I wanted to see us using something that we hosted ourself and that was more flexible (and free, of course).
About a month ago, they released a new release candidate for activeCollab, so I installed it once I was switched over, and we’ve been using it for a few days. So far, it’s going swimmingly. Now we can have unlimited users, projects, etc., and we can upload and comment on files (which was missing from the free version of Basecamp).
