Especially, if these programs have a great community backing to help troubleshoot and keep enhancing the program. A few open source programs that you might have heard of are <a title="Wordpress" href="http://wordpress.org">Wordpress</a>, <a title="Joomla" href="http://joolma.com">Joomla</a>, and <a title="Linux" href="http://linux.com">Linux</a>. <a title="Wordpress" href="http://wordpress.org">Wordpress</a> and <a title="Joomla" href="http://joomla.com">Joomla</a> are CMS platforms that can be installed on just about any <a title="Linux" href="http://linux.com">Linux</a> based server. Linux is the operating system that can run a personal computer or a giant server farm. There is a lot a power to be harnessed with open source programs. One of my favorite is called <a title="Collabtive" href="http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/">Collabtive</a>.</p>
<p><a title="Collabtive" href="http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/">Collabtive</a> is an open source project manager that can be placed on your server. This project manager allows you to create projects, timelines, schedules, add/remove teammates, and adds a progress bar. Teammates can message each other about the project they are assigned and also upload files to the database. Installing is easy with Linux and MySQL and starting is a matter of creating an Admin account.</p>
<p>Here is the complete list taken from the site (http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/about.php):</p>
