Development-wise it'll take a few extra month's of work to get it to a stage where it is safe and reliable enough for production use, but I'm not sure if we're all interested to put in that time and effort.

So I wouldn't go for another Basecamp clone. What for? I'm a happy user of Wrike http://www.wrike.com, which is email integrated and gives me much more freedom then Basecamp could ever have done.

Justin did some designing, some coding and most testing. Keegan did most of the coding and database design. A mobile version is a great idea, but because mobile web access isn't very popular in Australia, we had never thought about it. @Morten: Simply put, I designed and did a bit of coding.

I guess you're the designer and Justin the coder? Or is it equally divided? About the site, this could be the start of something. Imo you should expand this to include a mobile version of this site - it will then have a lot of potential. For example, a user can be bound to a group (family, students etc.) and then get tasks assigned (and the assignments can be set by the assigner to be viewable only for the individual, the group or the whole community). This would be great for both students and families. The thing is that there are a lot of sites giving a user different social and environmental stuff to the keyboard, but this could be your way into that. Later you can, if you will, expand the social aspect of this site - even with a better approach then Facebook, because it's far from perfect. Good luck with this and give us an update someday.

No, I'm serious, I need at least 1 million dollars out of the 1.5 Billion, its the least you can give me.

I'm thinking of many ways it would be usefull for my trade of work (architecture/ interior design). This would be great for Construction Administration to document the project's progress., "to do" list, and to keep the Architect, Engineers, Contractors,and other tradesmen on the "same page". And who dosen't like nice graphics, and that AJAX is great eye candy, yet very productive. I would love to explore this more. Well, done! -Ted This project looks great!
