What is this?

This is GNU GPL open-source project management (group management) system. The package contains: control of contacts, tasks, issues, projects; e-mail notifications; history tracking; workflow control for tasks and much more.

What do PushOK want to get?

1. Main destination
   Probably, this is the most important. They are not trying to develop a universal system, they indicate precisely its mission. This is Small Enterprise Management Application - SEMA. By "small enterprise" they mean any business, intellectual most often, with 5-10 workers.
2. Implementation language: PHP
   The system should be implemented in PHP as in the language most simple in deployment.
3. Not to invent a bicycle
   In our basic specialization (custom software), they gained through suffering the axiom that one shouldn't invent a thing that can be borrowed from others. On the whole, this allows one not to waste time and concentrate on basic tasks of the project. For example, they know that many CRM/Calendar systems comprise their own database abstraction level. However, there exists pear.php.net project comprising not only database abstraction level, but even the model of intermediate database objects which simplifies programming.
4. UTF-8 support
   The system should operate with Unicode strings (UTF-8).
5. Multi-tier implementation
   The system should be rigidly divided into server and client parts. In case of PHP-implementation, the client and the server parts are located in the same place, but the client part works only through the specified API. Thereby we provide possibility of real extension of the system by other (non-web) clients or by automation with other applications (CVS, for example).
6. Rights sharing
   The capability of rights sharing should be provided. On one hand, it shouldn't be too complicated, and on the other hand, it should be sufficient.
7. Notifications
   Notification and history tracking service should be an integral part of the core, since without this functionality the system is senseless.
8. Speed of work
   The system should work at reasonable speed on hardware identical to P2-200 (which corresponds to capabilities of inexpensive hosting).
9. Convenient translation
   In our opinion, the most convenient translation system is GNU gettext. It enables easy maintaining of translations along with source code changes.
10. Skins and layouts
    This is not a primary purpose of the system, but it should be also provided from the beginning.
