Iain Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Tasklist 3.0 (Groupware)
System name: tasklist-org
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This is a start at a web based project management groupware system (with GTK and Palm 
OS client to follow once the server side XML interface to reading/writing data is 
complete, as I have experience in developing GTK and Palm OS applications too).

It is written primarily in Perl and is indeded to be an elegant and simple to use (yet 
reasonably powerful) alternative to propriatory software like Microsoft Project. 
Despite being written in Perl the project is intended to be structured and have 
competant error handling and easy to use and well document interfaces between modules.

The engine is heavily centered around XML and is design to allow it to be extensible 
enough to be made into a useful Call Tracking and Bug Tracking tool (as I believe 
there are few competant systems around to meet this task and such a multi-user system 
naturally shares much of the same code as a multi-user Task/Project management system).

Goals include: Easy of Install, Ease of Use, Complete Web Based Configuration (for 
everything), simple yet fast database format (not SQL, as this is something that will 
be optional for \'Power Users\', the default will be for the project not to require 
any standalone database software), XML interfaces for data exchange, advanced features 
such as document attachment/storage, report generation and GANTT chart views.

A seperate package with an install script (for Expat is kicking around somewhere, but 
it\'s work in progress.

-- 
I say this is a \'start\' this is actually a reworking of an older (GPL\'d) system 
with a fresh lease of life and using a lot of technique\'s I have learned since it\'s 
initial development.


Other Software Required:
- Perl 5.6 or Newer (The Artistic License)
  Required.

- Expat (MIT License) & Perl XML interface (SAX. XML::Parser, etc.)
  Currently Required, to be downgraded to \'suggested\' in the final stages leading up 
to release.

- Apache (Apache Software License)
  Suggested, not required.

Other Comments:
The following download is provided purely for the purposes of review, 
licensing/documentation is incomplete, and the product still contains GIF images 
(these are being replaced with with PNG\'s, but there was a PNG library conflict on my 
system which prevented me from saving PNG files in GIMP for a short period).
