I saw it mentioned somewhere that Open Source Ecology has started to
use Pivotal Tracker... made me go check out Pivotal Tracker to see
what it's like.
Then, upon seeing how similar it is to BetterMeans, it made me wonder
if you've seen BetterMeans yet (which is a more generalised version of
Pivitoal Tracker designed not just for software project but for all
open enterprises! :) ) ?
If not, please go check it out:
http://bettermeans.com - main website

http://www.quora.com/BetterMeans/How-does-BetterMeans-compare-to-Pivotal-Tracker
I know Shereef (cc'd, one of the main people at BetterMeans) has been
pondering open-sourcing the BetterMeans code... (which I would REALLY
love to see).
I wonder if:
1) Marcin and team were to say "Open Source Ecology will use
BetterMeans instead of Pivitol Tracker (if it were open source)", and
2) some of the coders of
http://www.oneclickorgs.com/ and
http://cuprium.org/ (both are a) also coded in Ruby on Rail and b)
share similar aims/ goals to BetterMeans) were to express some
interest, then...
More momentum would build behind both BetterMeans and the idea to open
source it!
This e-mail is my effort to help make both things happen!
I urge all readers of this mail to do what they can to spread the word
about BetterMeans and to encourage Shereef and co to free their code!
Smiles,
Josef.
