Do you know Redmine? It's not as straightforward to use as Tracks (and does not support GTD), but is better suited for group work, mainly when it envolves programming.
Another option you may want to consider is Teambox, which is not as software-focused as Redmine, but (as fas as I could learn) is easy to use like Tracks, highly social and focused on communication inside the team (although does not support GTD also). 2012/3/23 Reinier Balt <[email protected]> > > > > First I would like to thank BSAG for developing Tracks.
