Hi, We've been developing a free software "legal case management" system for use by not-for-profit legal advice centers in Bulgaria for the past few months.
The software is still improving alot between releases, but so far a few organisations have started using it in various countries (bg, br, us, uk, au). The software is basically a system for creating "cases" (court or not) and for logging the activity on that case, then it generates reports based on those activities. The reporting is still a bit buggy, but it's aimed to be flexible. The system seems to work well for other (for-profit) lawyers, only that the system does not include any type of sophisticated billing system (it includes a very basic billing system). It is also aimed for use by an office, where many lawyers or advisors work on the same case. The system is based on PHP4/MySQL 3.23, and is available in English and Bulgarian, with partial translation in Portuguese of Brazil and French. We have started to make an experimental Debian package for use by the local NGOs (not-for-profit) centers who are using a Debian-based distribution. I will try to publish our control files in our CVS asap. Would there be any interest from others on this list to help work on a package which would fit average requirements? For more info about our project, we have a public testing site: - www.lcm.ngo-bg.org/public/ The project information and documentation is available here: - www.lcm.ngo-bg.org/en And our Source Forge project page is: - www.sf.net/projects/legalcase The latest release is 0.4.3 and should be announced on freshmeat later today. matt -- Mathieu Lutfy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.bidon.ca GPG 0x5F5BCEB4 0D3B 1AEE EF9B FB34 2FE7 80EC 8E8D F00A 5F5B CEB4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
