VVVEEERRRRRYRYYYY simple CRM

[simonr]

Hi all.

I'm looking for an opensource (!), very simple client/project managment system - any ideas?

At the moment I've got SugarCRM on my (ubuntu linux) machine but although it's great for a bigger company it's far too complicated for what we need. The idea is barely formed in my head but I'm thinking of something which allows me to

• input contacts/projects and show the (many to many) links between them somehow (need to have);
• input basic description of the project (and perhaps some info about the contact) (need);
• input tasks - with and w/out dates attached (need);
• nest projects within bigger projects (but this is a "nice to have");
• have 'template' projects/project types with certain tasks built in (such as "send the bloody invoice" or at least nags me to do that!) (need);
• link key documents to projects/contacts (another nice to have only);
• gives me some very(!) basic stats about how many days I'm committed to over X weeks and how much dosh is likely..... (yet another nice-to-have).

In short, the key things are a summary/overview of projects and within them tasks and contacts.

If it could look pretty, so much the better but I'm keen on usability, not prettiness for its own sake.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Hi Simon,

Is this machine your personal computer or a server? And how many users must access the details?

Hi Subbynet - I'm thinking for my office PC alone at the moment. Scalability would be nice but to be honest when we get to that point the market will probably have changed beyond recognition!
