Hi, as we just discussed in the meeting, we would like to evaluate some free task tracking tools to see if we can find something better/more suitable than retrospektiva, which is not much loved by the team.
Those are the ones I know of, please answer with more, so we can include them in the evaluation.

@nanuk: You said you alredy checked some tools, could you please share your experiences? The Studio team also switched to a new task distribution system, we could ask Cornelius about their solution.

Here are the notes I took while testing teambox (www.teambox.com): ------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes about my first tries with teambox
- First impression of usability and gui: looks ok - Work is organized in projects, pages, tasks, comments in the first place - Projects are the big organizational unit - Pages contain various information, files, discussion - Tasks can be assigned to people - Notifications via rss or Email when people are mentioned (@<name> in a comment) - User levels: Observer, Commenter, Participant, Admin - names are self-explanatory - No hierarchy regarding visibility of posts (e.g. no hidden discussion of users with admin status) - Users with edit rights can basically edit everything (e.g. central info page that describes project goals) - Limited privacy, e.g. no non-public discussion among admins within the project (But messaging via email is possible). Probably not a top priority feature anyway - Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs are integrated, but I did not test that yet - User account needed to participate - subscription to projects - Time tracking possible - I also created a project where I tested some stuff which I could show around
Ciao Nanuk
