I honestly have no desire to profit by it, that’s why instead of taking donations for it, I direct people to Charity:Water. * The closest to a monthly paid service I would ever let it go is to accept voluntary donations (which I don’t want to to — but if someone else would like to take over active development, I wouldn’t object to) — or charge for support/customizations. * -George * [badjesus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/badjesus/) * (@badjesus) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/page/2/#post-2199192) * Yes, what I would be looking at is a voluntary… don’t actually turn the program into a commercial plugin. It would be temporary and voluntary just to get the final steps done to benefit us all in the wordpress community. * There would just need to be a specific goal laid out and a time frame or money refunded sort of deal. * Good to hear someone has shown interest! There are some other good options out there but so far this is on top of the list as long as those main core features can get there. For messaging, just use wordpress comments. It isn’t a big deal if they are a isolated to the assigned a task. Turn the task into a custom post type to utilize all core wordpress features. * Then add custom taxonomies to show it as completed or not with user permissions. Allow users from the front end to complete tasks. When a checkbox is selected it woudl change taxonomy type to “completed”. This would allow for literally an exact copy of Basecamp as a plugin for wordpress. There might be a commercial interest in selling the plugin to basecamp afterward with them creating an API to link to customers existing basecamp accounts, or to import existing basecamp records. * For each client, set them up as a custom user type. This allows them to log in with existing user control instead of a custom unique string. This way they can recover passwords, etc. * Not sure if I am oversimplifying this but I would think utilizing all of the core wordpress features would allow for a lot more control and customization. * Use jquery tabs, in the front end to display the tasks seperate from client info or main message board (single page using comments). * I am not strong enough with the quality coding and cross platform stablizing but I would image designing it using these core features would make this easier and more stable with all themes and avoid other plugin conflicts… not to mention, make it easier. * -Jamie * [badjesus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/badjesus/) * (@badjesus) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/page/2/#post-2199193) * I think I could probably create this utilizing these plugins, if someone could take that as an example on a test site to see functionality and then add it to the existing code for Ndizi to actually create their own plugin. * By utilizing : Custom Post Types UI Advanced Custom Field Members User Profile Front End Editor Theme-Thesis * I think that is all that would be needed to create this, and then to just take that same functionality and link them together into their own single plugin? * All outputs and diplays could be done with wp_query() * Just make sure to ID and Class the hell out of everything, and custom CSS control is available for any theme and creating custom looks once the plugin is done. I would be more than willing to do some color templates for a quick set up feature.( Light, Dark, Grey, Basic Colors, ETC) * Plugin Author [George Stephanis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgestephanis/) * (@georgestephanis) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/page/2/#post-2199194) * Jamie: * Yes, you are certainly oversimplifying things. The plugin was intentionally written to use its own tables, rather than custom post types — it’s a structural choice that I made early on, as I wanted to keep it as optimized as I could, and it’s far more efficient to have a custom db table that stores everything when you have a fixed data structure. * As such, there are no post IDs that it could be tied to, because it doesn’t use posts. * If you’d like one that does use custom post types, then by all means, go right ahead and get one built. I intentionally built Ndizi for pure, raw efficiency in load times so that it would scale better than it would be able to if it were storing 20 items in the meta table for each record. * -George * [l r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lainyrache/) * (@lainyrache) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/page/2/#post-2199197) * Just want to say a nice, neat plugin. I hope you find time to add some of the modifications on the list. (dates, upload files, archiving) – it would be just perfect for me. Simple is good though.. it just works.. thanks again. e Viewing 5 replies - 16 through 20 (of 20 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/?output_format=md) 2 The topic ‘Next Version’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/ndizi-project-management/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3594546) * [Ndizi Project Management](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ndizi-project-management/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ndizi-project-management/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ndizi-project-management/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ndizi-project-management/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ndizi-project-management/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ndizi-project-management/reviews/) * 20 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [l r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lainyrache/) * Last activity: [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-version-1/page/2/#post-2199197) * Status: not resolved
