Hi Ilija

Are you sure at this stage, you want to add 'feature request' forum?. Your product is great. Here are my 2 cents on what I suggest you to focus on

1. Just focus on simplicity. People love activecollab if you can simplified everything, just like basecamp did.
2. Ignore feature request. Just focus on your planned priority.
3. Put a donation button somewhere. People will love to help you. I know I will...:)

Thanks

Just want to know what things users find important. I have a pretty good idea what will make it in 1.0 but I just want to see if I missed something really important (like RSS for instance, I totally forgot about that).

Donations? I honestly never thought about that. It’s a bit hard because I’m not from the States. Thanks anyway. I really appreciate it!

Hi,
You should definitely enable donations.
I've enabled it for my Webmin theme (http://www.stress-free.co.nz/webmin-theme/) using PayPal's 'Donate' option and I don't live in the States.
I found it really easy to setup and install on the site and within the theme, all you require is a credit card for verification.

Whilst the incoming money has been relatively small compared to the total number of downloads it's still enough to pay for all the random costs associated with hosting and developing software.

Regards,


David

You can use 'amazon' donate button. It's on amazon honor system. located on bottom of frontpage.

I'm a paid basecamp user and spending more than USD 20/m for basecamp, and I'll be happy to move it while helping the world get a better free project management software.

viva open source and freeware!

if you implement RSS for Task/Projects/whatever, make sure that only people on the projects (registered users) can subscribe to the infos in RSS-Feed.

we had some fusemail business accounts, and they offered to subscribe to your inbox via RSS. unfortunately i could google for my items in inbox... baad :)

cheers!

^ Haha. I know. Basecamp had "privacy warning" when they started. I think that HTTP authentication is OK for public, XML based data sources like feeds.

Your really should set up your Amazon Wishlist. So everybody can support you without donating Money.
