This looks like a great script. Going to give it a good testing out on my next project.

I gave it a look and what I didn’t like about it is that it lacks charts and planing options. All the rest was fine. There’s another tool that i’m currently testing, Wrike, and this one has a lot of promice, since it works like a wiki, lets goups your tasks in multiple ways and its gantt chart is interactive.

Streber looks promising, what’s the business plan though? Is it going to be through maintenance. An excellent business model that everyone’s doing right now is to have monthly fees. So they can host streber on a server, and then people will just create and manage their projects there, for a monthly/yearly fee.
