The website update is done and everything here on Projectpier.org should work as expected. If you find some errors, please file a bug for the website project (http://www.projectpier.org/project/issues/106).

Thanks for your patience

One of the project goals is to spread ProjectPier as far as possible. One of the crucial things doing this is to provide the tool in your native language. Therefore I am very happy to announce that we have 13 different languages for 0.8 available for download, 3 languages which need some more (little) love and 2 additional languages (Italian and Persian) which are currently under construction.

Please see the following table for the status. If you like to contribute or be the maintainer of your language, please contact us :-)

We will upgrade our Drupal installations within the next 2-3 days - starting with our test environment.

Please expect some downtime while we are upgrading to Drupal 5.2. We will post when we are done (so you get the info in your RSS feed).

Hi all,

here's a little update from us to keep you informed about what's  going on at ProjectPier.

First of all, thank you for your mails and issues you sent. We are currently fixing the identified issues to get PP 0.8 out of the door. If you like to help just register as user and grab a problem. You can checkout the 0.8.0-dev version at http://www.projectpier.org/project-release/projectpier-0-8-0-dev. The bug tracker for PP 0.8 is located at http://www.projectpier.org/project/issues/17.

We also established a Google Map on this site. Please check out http://www.projectpier.org/map/user and show us where you are using ProjectPier :-)

Furthermore we are currently rethinking our collaboration tools. Right now we use a PP installation for development and it served us well in the last 2 months. In that time we established the Drupal bug tracker here and set up SVN at SourceForge.

It is very exciting that there is so much interest brewing about the impending release of ProjectPier 0.8!  Lots of people are excited to see it and anxious to give it a try.  We get emails every day from interested people and everyone wants to know where we stand.  I feel the need to communicate a little better what's going on with this project.

We are very close to releasing ProjectPier 0.8, but we won't do it until it has been properly tested.  Just last week the development team was testing a release candidate - yes we found a few issues, some of which are carry overs from activeCollab that we would like to fix before releasing ProjectPier.  If you are interested in helping with the project in any way, please fill out the contact form.

While you're waiting for the release of ProjectPier 0.8, feel free to download and install some of our themes - all of which are compatible with activeCollab 0.7.1.  We hope to see you back soon!

Starting today we are OpenID enabled, meaning you can use your OpenID to log into our web site.

## What is OpenID?

From an OpenID provider web site:

Most useful sites on the web have a concept of identity. You log in with your username, do something for a while and then logout. Whether it is checking your email, writing a blog entry, or purchasing a book, you tell the site who you are at some point. Identity is a very important part of the web, and is what makes the internet useful.

Maintaining identities across multiple websites is difficult. You register at each site, choosing a different username and password. It is tedious and many sites ask for information that you have already provided elsewhere. What if someone has already taken the username you want? Most people end up choosing a username they don’t like, or simply leaving the site without registering.

What is OpenID?

OpenID is a new way to identify yourself all over the web. With your own personal OpenID you can login to any OpenID-enabled site (there are over 1,000 of them and that number is growing everyday) and identify yourself as you.

Cool Themes! One of the first things we're doing is to collect all known activeCollab themes and make them available as a single download. This website will feature thumbnail images of all the themes!
So, if you've designed any themes and wish to contribute them to the project, use the contact form and we will reply with more information.
