Hi,

I'm not sure if it's OK to post in this list. Please let
me know and I promise I'll never do this again...


Basicly: The ]project-open[ team is proud to announce the
release of version V3.2 of our open-source project management
and translation workflow system.

I've posted our standard press release below.
But what's really interesting for you:



Simplified System:


We had received feedback in this group that ]po[ is too
complex for individual freelancers and small groups.
So we have acted on that and present:

- A VMware installer: Just install this Vmware
on Linux or Windows and you are done. No
configuration....The VMware includes SuSE 9.3.

- We have included a "Configuration Wizard" to
reduce the functional complexity of the system.
Just choose the options "Simplified" and
"Translation" in the configuraiton wizard and
only the minimum functionality is enabled.
However, you can just run the wizard again later
if you want more modules enabled..
You can't miss the wizard, it's the first page
after the installation...




]project-open[ is #1 in "Business Management":

Common Sense Advisory evaluated 16 translation management
systems and says that we're the best in terms of project
management, finance etc. (That means: ]po[ is NOT the
best application for "translation memory" (no TM build
in...) and in "translation workflow").

For more details please see below.




Please try it and give us feedback:

So I would invite you to download the installers
(particularly the VMware...), try the new system and tell
us what you liked and (very important!) what you didn't
like. We are already working on V3.3 for release possibly
in 3 months, so we might be able to incorporate your
feedback.

Barcelona, May 9th, 2007: ]project-open[, a provider of open-source based

Projects are managed more cost-efficiently and the use of our system leads

from anywhere, evaluating relevant projects and process information. The
integrated financial controlling module allows checking profit & loss for
