Projectfork



Projectfork features:
* Project manager
* Task manager
* File repository
* Calendar
* Forum
* Time tracking
* Advanced user access system
* Extensible and flexible framework
* And much more!
Project Fork matches exactly my needs, its interface is clear and intuitive, despite a few little bugs that will need to be fixed (however they do not prevent the system to work).
An unexpected bonus is the Document Management ability that allows us to link current documentation with specific tasks. What a great feature.
The installation was a breeze, and everything is working perfectly. I would recommend this handy tool to anyone using Joomla who wants their team to be more organized.
Woo-hoo!
if you have a website with less then 500px width, then you have a big problem.... hydra is wider...
I need a system where my clients can easy report a bug or a task for there project, this way with all the extra features it makes to difficult for them to easy report something...
pls change it, maybe I will try it then again, until then still flyspray will do the job for me..
No frontend access. This means you require all users to log into to joomla's backup. Not good idea
Whats the point in having the calendar if your tasks are not tied to it? Who wants to create tasks then turn around and post events for those tasks?
hi kipper!
You're right with the calendar..pretty useless at the moment :D
Hydra is a huge thing and I can impossibiliy work on everything at a time.
On the roadmap you see that I've promised the task/calendar integration in 0.6.5.
It's not there I know but I'm working on it.
To this end, we are very impressed with Tobias Kuhn's Hydra Manager ! This software seamlessly integrates into our website and allows our board members to share tasks, documents and calendar events, even though they are scattered across two states! Tobias is friendly, responsive, and open to the needs of his user base. Although still in development (v0.6.1 is installed at the time of this writing), Hydra Manager promises a simple solution to our collaboration requirements. Thanks, Tobias!

Hydra goes beyond all my expectations. It is very comprehensive and it looks very slick indeed.
Congrats to the Hydra team, you have done a great job for the community!
So far this application is very well designed for being so young. I am very excited to see where it heads.
THANKS!!!
other stand-alone Project Managers (dotProject,phpGroupWare..) before I found this Component here.
And I can say that this Component has more potential than most other Groupware Tools!
The whole System is easy to understand, no useless Gimmicks or
Information overkill.
Especially for people who
- are new to Project Management
- don't want to read a big manual first
- setup a workstation on the fly
this component is just perfect. But I can not recommend it for bigger and complex Projects. The component is just not ready for this yet. But I'm sure it will be greatly improved in the future.
Thanks for this component, great job!

Also it would be nice if the component accommodated templates with not too much width to play with. The site I'm trying to introduct Hydra too is quite a narrow design so I tried disabling some of the Settings options but even with them turned off the heading 'Settings' is still displayed anyway so the width is still taken up.
Nevertheless, I'll be keeping an eye on the progress of Hydra and will be installing further updates as they are released.
I am planning to use Hydra as a basic project tracker that allows employees to check on the status of certain projects, and to clearly define what tasks and resources will be necessary to complete that project. Ultimately, I also want to publish this information for the general public in a read-only fashion.
There are a few bugs yet in the program, but I am *really* impressed with what I have used so far. I don't think Hydra is intended to replace the functionality of MS Project or dotProject, but it is a very nice, straight-forward, easy to understand component for doing basic project tracking, which is exactly what I was looking for.
