Maybe it's a good idea to start this conversation.
Or even better maybe Ilija can create a new forum dedicated to this topic.
So how do you use aC?
I use it in my laptop for managing personal things, finance, small project and other things. Installed xampp and aC works like wonder.

I use aC as a personal organizer.
I have some projects like:
- my tasks in NPO
- my tasks in my company
- daily tasks
- want to do in summer vacation
and have some milestones like:
"make a prototype of new app"
"write a draft of a paper"
"read 10 books in 30 days"
I use "Message" as daily logs. I add a message, "This is a changelog for a prototype of the new app", and I post a comment as a log everyday. So to say, this way helps me collaborate with past myself.

I use aC for my small web development company, it really helps with communicating with clients, who for some reason all seem to be from the UK, so there is a 5 hour time difference with us.

I use it to coordinate my team and my own job.
- I assign task to one person (and no one can say "you didn't tell me" or "you told someone else")
- I send messages related to the project itself (no more multiple email messages that are forgotten after 5 minutes)
- I see how productive one is (how many tasks they take up and how long it takes to close them)
- one of the girls works from home and she needs to be up-to-date with all we do: now she can access activeCollab and immediately see messages we exchange and new tasks assigned to her.
- also I have created one project for each team member where I write notes about their job. This avoids me telling them off in front of the others or seeing them to my office (which sounds bad enough).
- I can see all the tasks perfectly filed under a project or file list.
- I stopped forgetting my own tasks..;)

I've deployed AC at a medium sized web development company. Myself and my coworkers all use it for our 50 or so clients, various milestones for each, and of course the task list (the task list is probably the best tool we've ever had for keeping coders, graphics artists, and sales reps "on task").
We have already noticed our production times becoming faster due to AC. We had previously been using SugarCRM (which everyone here hates due to it being clunky and not working half the time), and the shift to AC has been pretty seemless.
The only thing I wish AC had were the following things (most of which will probably be in a future update):
- Built in Calendar of global milestones
- CampFire like chat system
- Faster "edit task" functionality (I'm talking AJAX here, you hit the edit task button and the field appears below and goes away after adding... switching pages and pageloads are slow!). Really this is nitpicking, but I am constantly adding tons of tasks and this would make life 100 times easier.
All in all I love this product, thank you Ilija!

I second the global milestone calendar. That would be fantastic in our University install where we've got several dozen projects going on at any time between departments. It's the only thing that isn't included in the current install that was on our requirement list...here's hoping it's implemented.
