I just setup a project for some clients and I logged in with their account to test things out. I was surprised to see a lot of projects whereas, I only granted access to one project for this user account.
As it turned out, these projects were created with the "Public" option checked. I went into each of these projects and unchecked the option. I also went into the administrative function and set the default to false for the public option. These will prevent this from occurring again.
I installed redmine to evaluate it for a project management. Of course, lots of forum posts on the net indicate that it's the winner out there currently (July 28th, 2009).
I installed it, and here's a summary of my discoveries
I just did a dance of success and my co-worker said he never saw anything like that in the workplace. Anyway, we still use a excel spreadsheet to track our projects, so last night I decided to install redmine and see if that would work for us. Redmine is a project management tool that runs on the Ruby on Rails stack. I haven't done much with ROR, but I am pragmatic and this seemed to fit my needs. I don't have my java blinders on!
