[ale] Project/Time Management and Billing Programs

[Benjamin Scherrey]

Geoffrey,

	How well does it handle actual tracking of the project? For instance allowing resources to 
enter their time utilization as they go along and updating project status? Also what language is it 
written in and is there a pure-web interface or will it only run under Gnome? Ever run a client under 
windows?

	I too am looking for a tool like this but it keeps looking like something I'm gonna have to 
write myself. Guess I can piecemeal it in python/postgres but I'd sure prefer to "buy" rather than 
build. Got too much stuff on my plate as it is.

	thanx & later,

		Ben Scherrey
