Sorry for the OT... I'm looking for some software to fill a fairly specific set of requirements. I'm not necessarily looking for project software, but it seems like the closest to match what I need. I'm also not tied into open source or free. If anyone knows of any software that might fill these requirements I would appreciate it.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1) Web enabled application 2) File storage - need to stare a large amount of large cad files - be able to categorize file storage (not one large list) - keep different revisions of files with some kind of notes - be able to search files (at least include names in a search) 3) Task - assign and keep track of tasks (searchable) 4) Store meeting notes and minutes (searchable) 5) Would like to support LDAP 6) Extension on file storage - since we'll be storing a large files and many of our users are across a WAN we'd like to sync/mirror the files to a few different servers. I'm not sure how we'd control how the users get the "closest" server but....
I found dotproject on sourceforge. It fills some of the needs, but it's file storage appears to be one large list, doesn't appear to support LDAP, and I don't see much for searching.
Anyone know of software that might do these things?
Thanks, James
James:
I wonder if you can do this in two pieces:
1. Dotproject for the project management 2. Subversion for the file storage and revision tracking.
Subversion has the ability to keep synchronized repositories in different locations. You would have to write to the primary repository but can read from any of the synced repositories. We host synced repos for our clients in our geographically separated data centers.
Then, it looks like all you would be missing would be the LDAP integration which someone could add to dotproject since it is open source. We can probably develop that for you.

I will take a look at subversion.

Have you considered using Wiki software such as PMWiki, Twiki, or MediaWiki? We do some of this with Twiki and use Apache's auth tied in to LDAP.

Hadn't considered the wiki products. I will take a look at them.

Have you looked at something like Alfresco?

I'd start with subversion for the storage/versioning and remote file access functionality and trac for a fairly close-coupled wiki and project management tool (or you could look at the commercial TestTrackPro). You should be able to be able to configure both to use any of apache's authentication methods, including LDAP. Subversion doesn't like multiple copies of repositories, but since version 1.5 it is possible to set it up so commit access is redirected to a master instance but this can sync to multiple copies that can be used locally for read access. But, performance is generally fairly good even with remote access to a single repository so you might not need that.
The only real caveat here is that it is extremely difficult to ever remove anything that has been committed to a subversion repository so you might want to start with several separate repositories to keep their sizes manageable if there are some logical categories where that would make sense.
