New Software Helps Groups Coordinate Projects on the Web

CourseForum Technologies has introduced ProjectForum 2.3, its web-based software for easy coordination of group projects.

ProjectForum provides a powerful but easy-to-use solution for flexible workgroup collaboration, and coordination of projects and teams over the web. Build intranet or project sites where everyone can actively and directly contribute. Use it for project planning, todo lists, design notes, task assignments, meeting notes, problem reports, team discussions, collecting feedback, research, brainstorming and more.

ProjectForum is hosted on Mac OS X, Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Linux or other Unixes, while users need only their existing web browser on any platform. The fast host installation and easy web browser interface lets you get started in minutes, so everyone can quickly contribute. Powerful features like attachments, access control, complete revision history, and multiple workgroup support ensure an effective and secure work environment.

Version 2.3 is a major update. An RSS feed is now available in every forum, allowing changes to be easily tracked using popular news aggregator software such as NetNewsWire, NewzCrawler, or AmphetaDesk. The appearance and layout of pages has been simplified to make navigation even easier, while a new feature makes it easier to refer to pages in other groups or projects. Several new formatting features were also added, and several other bug fixes and enhancements are included.

Until the end of the July, for every license purchased at the regular price, customers will receive a license to use the software for a second workgroup. Licenses are available starting from US$199, and a free version is also available.
