Trying out OPENPROJ

I am taking a chance and trying out the free project software called OPENPROJ. It seems to be almost in the beta state. But it may just be that I am having trouble finding the documentation. In any case I have loaded about 120 project/tasks into the System and so far it seems to have accepted them without crashing. I haven't yet figured out how to adjust the scale on the Gantt chart. I can only see a few months at a time. I need a scale that shows about 15 years. I am not completely clear on how the precendents work. It does not seem to allow progress to be dependent on more than one prior task. But, again, it may just be a matter of finding the documention. The same outfit that offers OPENPROJ offers another more comprehensive system (ON DEMAND I think) that lets the project to be run on line with many teams involved. We may have to convert over to that kind of system when the number of actual participants grows. They want about $20/mo for the system.

buildnwc.com site has link to us.

I finally got a simple page up on the buildnwc.com website. It has an email reference as well as a link to www.buildnwc.org. There is still no indication that anyone has visited the site except Gary and I. I plan to add a bunch of key words to the .com site. This may help people seeking us.

Link from old website working

The orginal web site we purchased was buildnwc.org. Later we used google applications because of some enhanced features. In the process we lost the link between buildnwc.org and the google site at www.buildnwc.org. Gary fixed that problem. Today if you sign in to http://buildnwc.org there is a link to the google site.
