  1. iCalendar, Project Management, Agenda, CVS and Perl?

    Ask · Perl · · posted by Cliff · from the more-technologies-than-you-can-shake-a-stick-at dept. · 15 comments
    parasew asks: "I am searching for Web-based Project Management Software, which should be (mod-)perl based, so I can enhance it or put it into an existing environment using MovableType, which is in a sort of alpha-state. I found a site about Call Center, Bug Tracking and Project Management Tools for Linux and also this short listing, but sadly they are just a bunch of projects which only come close to the kind of tool I am searching for. Gantt and Chronos, seem to be a very nice Web-Calendar packages written in Perl. I was just wondering why no one is using iCalendar (does anyone know of Perl-based Software using iCalendar), as most of the Agenda Software uses iCalendar, and even Mozilla Calendar is capable of subscribing to remote-Calendars. This looks very interesting to me. In general, I wanted to ask you Monks for the best way to do this. Should I create a new app from scratch or reusing existing stuff?"

    "Here are the features I am looking for:

    • The use of Calendars (multiple users) and iCalendar Support
    • File-Pool for projects (CVS-based or similar)
    • Progress-bar for showing the current state of a project
    • A public calendar where users can publish events from their private calendars
    I found a simple Calendar script from PerlMonks, and another easy one here. Of course, there are really lots of Calendar scripts out there, but I am asking you for hints. Which ones do you know of that comes close to my needs? There are several existing Modules for iCalendar on CPAN, and i thought about reusing stuff to maybe create a dirty hack of Chronos, Bricolage and add the CVS and iCalendar support on my own.

    Please also see my topics on PerlMonks and MovableType

    Thanks for any help, hints or suggestions."

  2. Unix Financial Package

    This is proof that Free Software is the future: this link talks about how the teams working on GNOMoney, WaterMark, and X-acc are now joining together to create the Ultimate Unix Financial Package. This is one of the major holes in Free Software right now, so I can't wait to see the fruits of this project. Thanks to E. Webb for sending this in.
