There are a couple of new activeCollab modules approaching final stages of development and we could really use some feedback. There are three new modules that we would like to have tested:
1. Incoming Mail - This module connects to any number of POP3 or IMAP servers and imports emails from them. What this module enables you is to have people post new tickets or discussions directly from their email client. Also, when user replies to notification sent from activeCollab it gets automatically fetched and submitted as a comment.
2. Invoicing - Prepare and send invoices from activeCollab to your clients. This module also enables you to track all the payments made by your clients for any particular invoice. Multi-currency and multi tax rates support included.
3. SVN integration - This module lets you connect existing SVN repositories to activeCollab projects. You can browse both code and repository history. Module sends email notifications on new commits to people who subscribe to repositories.
If you would like to grab a test copies of these modules when they get available, please send an email to hi@a51dev.com and tell us more about yourself, which modules are you interested in how you'll be using them.
This is just call for testers and should not be considered as any type of promise. There is no exact timeframe set for these modules. If you are considering to purchase activeCollab, please ignore these modules until they are published and officially supported (if ever).
UPDATE (Sep 10th, 2008): In order to be able to run these modules, you'll need activeCollab Corporate version.
A minor update - in order to be able to run these modules, you'll need activeCollab Corporate version. I forgot to mention it in original post. We still haven't figured out what we want to do with these modules so they are developed to expect all Corporate modules installed (tickets and time tracking).
Thanks everyone for offering your help, we really appreciate it. We'll be contacting you as soon as test versions of these modules are finished.
1. we have some users we would rather keep out of the "system" but would need to communicate with a specific project.
2. we have a department that operates outside our standard billing system, they could use that.
3. SVN: we are just starting on a separate PHP project where that would come in REAL handy, we are using Team Foundation for our .NET work, but do not like to mix the 2, so using AC and SVN would perfectly fit this.
Very exciting!
* Wished I could keep more info inside the system without duplicate entry, using the email feature would be a nice to have
* Currently using zoho for invoicing, much prefer it all in one program. Especially one tied to where I'm tracking hours anyway.
* Very excited about SVN.
