Collabtive

Collabtive is a web-based, collaborative project management software. It is released as free software.
It aims to become an Open Source alternative for proprietary tools like Active Collab or .

History
Collabtive was started in November 2007 and had its initial public release in January 2008. It has been downloaded more than 8000 times since then (as of April 2008). The project has been started out of discontent about the closing-up of ActiveCollab.
The last free version of ActiveCollab was released under a GPL incompatible, non OSI approved, license.
So a new project was started, to create a real Open Source software.
