Well, I didn’t win the contest at Copper Project, so my free version of Copper isn’t coming. Sadly, I still need some kind of groupware.

I’ve considered actually paying for it, but it has certain limitations even for the great software it is.

These features would be nice:

• Excellent UI
• Ticket system with external access
• Group-enabled calendar
• Simple (ajax?) task entry

It would be nice if someone would finally finish the open-source Basecamp so that I don’t have to pay the monthly fee, and can customize the code to tweak the system as I like.

Any thoughts?
