Basecamp / Backpack / Design Patterns

[camtarn]

Set up a free BaseCamp account, on cframe's suggestion. I'll be poking at it over the coming week or so, with a view to maybe using it for project management for our group project. Looks quite nifty so far. It's all very trendy, with Ajax out the wazoo, but I'm more attracted by the base idea - if I could actually get people on my project team to

Thanks for the pointer to Basecamp and for Backpack. I'm assuming you're using the free package?

I'm trying to use GTD methodology, but want the computer to store the info for me... I'll see which one suits.

btw, if you had to 'rebrand' me, in terms of domain name, user name, etc, what would you suggest? I really would like to register a domain, but am having a mental block...

P.S. It seems Backpack is more appropriate for me, I think...

Yep, the free package. I'm not actually even using it yet - will try and pitch it to my team once we start building our final code, but I suspect it probably just won't happen. Oh well.

As for the rebranding: well, I've had this name (CamTarn) for nigh on ten years - I haven't exactly got much experience with rebranding, with the exception of a brief stint as 'Inacsiven'. What about looking through an old dictionary and picking something suitably obscure but still pronounceable? Or even better, *two* obscure-but-pronounceable words! I still quite like nine9, though =)

Your dictionary idea is very good. I must remember tot aht once I get back...
