Free Open Source Basecamp Clone

activeCollab is a free open source project management and collaboration tool. This web-based application is very similar to 37 Signal’s Basecamp project management tool, but instead of a hosted service, activeCollab is an application you download and install on your web server. The tool requires PHP and MySQL, so should be easy to install on most hosting packages.

    yes it is similar, but still have several rough edges.
    Anyway are better project management solutions based in PHP, Achievo and dotProject are some of them.

    Looks pretty good I think, much better to have such a system on your own server.

    An important feature that activeCollab is missing is setting task dependencies. I would think that any kind of serious project planning and management would need a tool with this feature.

    Um, it’s not free open source, they charge money to use it.
