Definitely (I've moved this over to dev@, though). We've certainly got a lot of
pieces of the puzzle; it's just a matter of linking things together in code and
the UI, and supplying the missing bits. You and Jason have been doing a nice
job getting hermes and whups talking to Turba.

Here's my off-the-cuff list of things to do for a real project management
system:

- a projects meta-module, that'd mainly pull in summary views from other apps;
also maybe the ability to create a starting set of whups modules, tasks, files
area, reports, etc. through one "create project" interface.

- real shares in Gollem, so that projects can all have their own files area

- better groups/perms support everywhere for grouping things by group/project

I've wanted the files area and projects meta-app for a while, though I need it
less now than before - automatically creating a notebook for a project so you
have a place for little text notes, etc. Would be a really neat app.

What do other folks think is missing? What needs to get better? Etc...
