Decent Task List Program

January 11, 2004 23:43 by matthaw

Over the past few weeks, I found it very difficult for me to keep track of all the bugs or enhancements that I wish to put in place for my next release.  So, I set out to find a (free) task list program that would suit my needs.  Well after a small Google search, I came across a Microsoft side project named TaskVision.  This server/client based program was fairly simple to setup and start using.  There are some weird quirks that I don't like, like not being able to remove projects or users as well as not having separate categories within projects.  Another thing that bugged me, was that after the installation of the client, you had to manually modify the App.config file to point to your personal server.  To me, this is a pain, and should have a configuration within the application to allow this.

The good thing about TaskVision, is that it is open source...so I guess if I wished to take the source and modify it to my needs, I could...though I think I should spend my time working on my next release.  Either way, its a good starter utility that uses Web Services to handle everything.  Other cool features are the ability to go “Offline” if need be...which is something else I wanted since I develop on my laptop with no internet connection sometimes.

So, if you're looking for a good free task list program, I suggest using TaskVision.

Both look decent if you don't want a server based product, where I did.  Thanks for the info though.
