Based on user feedback, the focus for Scrum Time 1.0 has shifted.

From:
multiple organization support
To:
single organization support
Justification:
reduce unnecessary complexity when locally hosted

From:
focus on freely hosted site
To:
focus on downloadable war and db create scripts
Justification:

This shift in focus will require a refactoring of source code that will occur just after the 0.5 20081216 biweekly code drop. ... read more
