I really need the API and/or the ability to write a plugin. There is still ZERO documentation on either of these subjects.

Much was promised in terms of development speed and getting the documentation together, but very little has actually been delivered.

Growing pains aside (as with any software) what Ilija and the team have done is a GREAT piece of code.

Buy it. The support has been wonderful too.

If clients aren't an issue, I'd go ahead and get it. Although there are some significant issues that need to be addressed, it's quite useful as-is.

However, it is something that can be lived with, as aC satisfies the *majority* of our requirements, if not all.

If you were a bit more descriptive about what you needed to use it for, then some of us may be able to answer you better.

Personally I have no Idea about Basecamp migration, so I can't help you there.

Ilija has always been responsive to me whenever I ran into a problem. If they are not answered on the forums, I have found they have been quite quick to respond to the Tech support link. You just have to keep in mind that they are in Europe and in a different time zone.

Personally I think it is a good product, and they have a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you find it's not where you want the product to be yet, you can get your cash back.

Is this impression right or wrong? Also, there is no more word about BaseCamp migration...

What can the community advise me? Buy or wait it out?
