[ale] OSS web based task manager?

[Alex Carver]

I'm going to pass on AngularJS.  Number one is that it has to be 
self-contained with no cloud (proprietary and in some cases ITAR 
data/information may be present).  That means not including remote 
libraries that I can't control.(*)  Number two is lightweight(ish).  The 
machine already runs PHP/MySQL for other basic pages so adding one more 
is easy.

I just loaded dotProject and it seems like it will do just fine.  I'll 
test it out with a couple people and see if it fits.  If not it looks 
like I'll have to just churn one out during lunch breaks.


(*) I also have a strong distrust of the cloud in general.  I don't mind 
doing certain things like shopping and limited banking online (to 
certain limits and all closely monitored) but I don't like using or 
creating applications that wander off pulling unknown code in.  Granted 
this could happen with shopping and banking but I have side-channels to 
ensure that nothing fishy happens.
