What's wrong with the installer processes of open-source applications?

Alan — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:00:34 +0000

I'm getting tired of illogical choices when implementing open-source projects.

What's the issue?

Project developers providing packages that deploy packaged components whether you already have them already or not.

My Current views on Web2Project - Open Source Project Management

Alan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:09:07 +0000

I'm closely watching the forum relating to Web2Project, specifically the thread on Dependencies and Tasks Completion.

I was initially looking for an Open Source Project Management application and after trying a few, including stopping using OpenProj, I've found Web2Project as a good contender. It does have some issues though.

What do I like about it?

I like the activity in the forum.

Background

I've been busy recently evaluating Web Application Frameworks for a current project. It's a simple idea and I wanted to use an up-to-date framework rather than code everything from scratch. Here's a quick breakdown on what I found.

I've written before about using OpenProj as a suitable open-source application for project management. Now that I've more chance to use it in anger (e.g. with projects consisting of over 200 tasks), I've noticed a number of anomalies. Mainly these occur in the scheduling.

Do we really want an ERD or Class Model for Vtiger?

I posted earlier about a diagram of vtiger's data schema. The actual scheme is referenced at vtiger's wiki.

It is not an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) nor is it a Class Model. That's what I was originally looking for since I spend more of time working at the logical or conceptual levels rather than the physical.
