I will post this proposition also apart -but we really have to improve intternal communication. Launchpad is fine for code, but not for communication. In my job I also do project management-and server administration. What do you think about that I install a time tracking/project management system for our internal communication, tree-view communication, task attribution , mails with attachment etc ... Could be online within 72hrs What software does not matter for me, can install on one of my external servers quite anything amjjawad <[email protected]> wrote: >Blueprint changed by amjjawad: > >Whiteboard changed: > [amjjawad] Okay, so this is an extra needed headache.
