Good catch, Ray. It seems Basecamp has changed their pricing model in the past couple months. They used to have a completely free version that would get you 1 "project" with 1GB of storage, unlimited to-dos and a handful of writeboards. Unfortunately, looks like I'm a bit outdated. Apologies.
That said, both organizations of which I am a part, that use Basecamp, have seen enough need to upgrade. So, I've been on the paid version for a while now. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwartz, Raymond Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] project management system Adam, Where is the free version of basecamp. The website only offers a 45 day free trial. All the rest are subscriptions. /Ray -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Traub Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 1:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] project management system Hi Kun, I'm a big fan of Basecamp (http://basecamp.com/). With a small group, it is pretty easy to get by with just the free version and it handles distribution and archiving of emails. Unless you're looking for time-tracking, it has done a very good job for a couple of the projects I've worked on. I've noticed a few people get excited about the ability for it to store files and have "wikis" (called "whiteboards" in Basecamp), though it is easy to outgrow the free version quickly. I generally use it as a scheduling, to-do list (with assignments), and email system. You can always complement the file storage with Dropbox or an internal file system.

Does anyone has any suggestions on which one to choose? We only have a very small team and our main focus is to guide our librarians to submit their ideas and for record tacking purposes. Thanks Kun
