Thanks to a comment from Keith regarding web2Project - a branching of dotProject - I've been able to make some significant advances on the 'simplifying' of dotProject. I'm trying to be as strict as possible - following Occam's Razor....some recent changes include:
- removing any % progress complete - you're either done or not...(something beaten into me some years ago)
- removing departments...it's a PM tool not a contact management tool
- removing $ fields - it's a PM tool not a budget tool
- setting project status to Initiation, Planning, Execution/Control, Closeout, Complete and On-Hold...PMBOK 101
- setting company types to active and inactive (there were 5 categories...not sure why)
- removing internal hard coding
