I've been looking for a good open-source PPM framework to play with and this seems to be a good contender. So i downloaded it, installed and started playing with it. Two issues popped-up - one a logical error I asumme and one a scalability issue:
1. I created a message which is only available to members (and not clients). Then I created a comment on this message by one of the members. after then logging-in as a client, I could see the comment was posted but when I clicked it, I got a permission denied message (which is what it should do). My question is, why can a client see a comment on a message that they are not allowed to see? Arent you openning up for the possibility that "inside" info could get out (by way of comments)? And doesnt it confuse ppl... seeing a comment but not seeing the message?
2. The email check boxes on creating a message isn't very scalable. How would it look having 15 ressources? 10 clients with 10 people working there each?
Anyway - the system looks good and im anxious to peek under the hood at the code.

Hi Raedan,
welcome!
If you want to participate, do not hesitate to join the mailing-lists on sourceforge (http://www.projectpier.org/node/397) and to come on the IRC channel. (http://www.projectpier.org/irc) Note that there is a meeting today at 22.30 UTC if I'm not mistaken.
Regarding your point #1, it's a good point that has been brought up recently. There is a patch available here: http://www.projectpier.org/node/1237
Maybe you can review it? ;-)
As for #2, I suppose you mean that "Check all/Uncheck all" links would be useful? Maybe you want to look with two people who are working on integrating jQuery. That would probably help.
