FINALLY!!!

Centerflow has been a work in progress for months now. I’ve gotten a good amount of feedback who like the tool, but have trouble installing or configuring it. Ever the problem solver, I decided that the next step for centerFLOW was to follow Wordpress’ lead and offer the web application as a service for people to signup and use, instead of downloading and installing

Feel free to signup at Centerflow Signup

I’ve released a new version of Centerflow. It’s pretty much ready to go.

Before, the Projects and Messages model were using scaffolding. I’ve changed it so that the Projects model can now edit, merge and delete properly. Deleting a project will also optionally merge tasks into the parent project (unless, of course there IS not parent project)

Messages no longer use the scaffold page. I jacksoned the Message listing so that editing messages happens inline, much in the way tasks are edit.

Speaking of tasks, priority is finally in place. It can be done through each projects dropdown menu. There’s a link to “Reorder Project” where the tasks can be re-ordered with some sweet drag-n-drop action.

Enjoy.

Download @ SourceForge or CakeForge

Last year, many states (including my home state of California) moved up their primaries to happen in early February. The idea was that the earlier their primary happened, the more influence their votes would have. Ironically, the exact opposite has. “Super” Tuesday didn’t really change much. The only thing that has happened is that the later states, such as next weeks “Crucial” Tuesday with the highly populated states of Texas and Ohio have more impact than before. Looks like the idea has backfired.

For the past couple of months I have been working on a project management tool using CakePHP.
It’s now available for download so check it out.

It all started with BaseCamp. I had our development team using it and it really revolutionalized our development process. It got so good that it was time to move on from our little free account to a full blown one. I pitched the idea to my boss, but she was cautious about so much of our information being on someone elses servers. I guess I got inspired, since I went ahead and did my best to build my own. Centerflow is now up as a demo and for download, so please try it out. It’s my first released project so I would love a lot of people to try it and give me some feedback. Thanks!!

centerFlow is a cool project management tool for development. It keeps track of your projects and tasks, and allows you assign them to users as well as mark their progress until completion. It can be used for development projects, or any kind of project that suits your needs.

CenterFlow uses cakePHP, a PHP-based MVC framework. It also uses the Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries for javascript. I also jacksoned my own tree class using said JS libraries.
