The kanban approach is quite similar to Odoo Project. You can test the online demo: http://bit.ly/1CGha87 http://bit.ly/1CGha87 The Odoo Project website: https://www.odoo.com/page/project-management https://www.odoo.com/page/project-management And the github page: https://github.com/odoo/odoo https://github.com/odoo/odoo Some of the features I like in Odoo project: email gateway, pivot table reporting, cross-project tasks or reporting, timesheet integration.

I was surprised I hadn't heard of Odoo before, but now I see it's the new name of OpenERP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odoo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odoo

Yes, but this is meant to be intuative and well designed. Snarky comments aside, where odoo falls down is that it tries to be everything and do everything and unsurprisingly falls short if you compare it to a single purpose application.

I've been using Target Process which is free for small teams - albeit not open source. http://www.targetprocess.com/ http://www.targetprocess.com/

  Thanks for the link, this looks interesting I normally use Trello and CherryTree (which is a simply stunning notes application for programmers (and none programmers but it understands how to mark up code and can export to HTML and PDF but I digress)) but this looks like it could replace Trello at least :).

Honestly, I'd be happy to see someone write a kanban javascript plugin / extension / webapp that wrapped any shitty PM tool with an API.

What's your relation with OpenErp / Odoo ? (i'm implementing OpenERP/Odoo for some of my clients :-) )

  He seems affiliated or at least heavily invested: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pinky07 https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pinky07 In my head OpenERP was the company that took contributed code, changed the license and slapped a price tag on it? (Anyone: Feel free to defend them, - it might just be my bias against AGPL and the fact that I thought their price tag for the commercial version was unrealistic last time I evaluated it.)

    Not at all. Of course, Odoo has dependencies on several libs but the whole code (framework and the 240 official modules) have been written from scratch. (I wrote a huge part of it) That's actually the reason why it's so integrated; there are no interfaces between the different apps; every app is fully standalone (you can install project management only) but fully integrates with the others when you install more modules. (timesheets on tasks, billing of projects, contracts related to projects, ...)

      As a system integrator, I agree (and cry! at the lost revenue from integrating two systems never designed to talk to each other). DISCLAIMER: I am an Odoo partner.
