[Ctm-devel] Re: other projects similar to ctm

[Bryan M. <bmu...@gm...>]

OK, I spent some time this evening trying out the last open source one
in my list, http://www.jaynorth.net/?view=3Dscouttracker.  His code is
currently broken, it starts off SELECTing FROM a table in the database
that his set-up scripts didn't create.  I commented out that part and
now it just won't let me login.  I'm not too good at debugging this
stuff, but I think I did everything in the setup right.  I've joined
his mailing list and emailed my concerns.

Anyway, the point of this email is, if you feel like trying one of
these out, start with one of the other two (though it still is fun to
look at his tables and php to see how he's organized stuff).

Good night,

Bryan

P.S.  If you want see it I've got it at http://ctm.homelinux.org/scout_trac=
