I’ve been researching several project management/communication solutions this past week, looking for alternatives to Basecamp. Someone mentioned Zoho Project to me, which I’ve tested out. Zoho has the features I’m looking for – project management tasks and milestones, calendar, time tracking, file uploads, client area, etc.
For the price of $12 (US)/month, I can manage 10 projects with 2G of space, and unlimited users and clients. On Basecamp, I would pay twice the price ($24 US) to manage 15 projects with unlimited users and clients, but only get 500M of space.
Has anyone used Zoho Project? If yes, I would love to get some feedback from you.

Web Standards
May 25, 2007
This past week I came across two items on Web Standards I thought others might enjoy. First, Robert Nyman, who has some great insights on web development, usability, standards, and JavaScript, published What are Web Standards? A comprehensive explanation of what is comprised in the term. Robert discusses the main areas of web standards, providing details and links for each of the areas.
At Web Standards for Skeptics, Mike Montgomery of Montgomery Studios, provides his recent web standards presentation at the Refresh Miami group. His presentation is subtitled “Web Standards as a Competitive Advantage” and highlights the objections clients have toward web standards, web standards principles, as well as websites built with web standards.
I recognized many of the web standards built sites Mike referenced in the presentation, but was delighted to view some new sites I wasn’t aware of.
Both items presented excellent explanations of web standards, the type of explanations you can use with clients when explaining how you develop websites and the advantages of developing with web standards.
Tonight still on as planned.

There was some talk about the bad weather, but it appears to already have passed the Ann Arbor area. We will still be meeting at the 3.7 Designs office in Ann Arbor as planned.
Thank you!
Dennis’ Goodbye
May 5, 2007
As you may or may not have heard, I’m leaving the Detroit area for an exciting opportunity in Redwood City, California (Silicon Valley!). Therefore, I will have to retire my leader role with Refresh Detroit. My replacement will be announced soon. The next Refresh Detroit meeting will be a little early this month (Tues, May 15) so I can make it one last time.
It’s been a great learning experience and a lot of fun since Ross Johnson and I co-founded the group last year. And as I understand, Refresh Detroit is one of the most active chapters of Refreshing Cities.
I’ll continue to check in on the blog once in a while. Also, the Web Axe web accessibility podcast will continue as normal, but may go on hiatus for a bit while I move my self and my family.
Cheers, and happy web developing!

Card sorting – measuring success of navigation early
April 27, 2007
As many Refresh Detroit members know, I’m a big fan of card sorting. At Boxes and Arrows, Iain Barker has published Measuring the Success of a Classification System, a wonderful article that takes Donna Maurer’s card-based classification evaluation technique a step further.

Stop Cyberbullying Day – March 30
March 30, 2007
By now, almost everyone in the web professional world has heard about the disturbing and violent threats to Kathy Sierra, author of the well-known Creating Passionate Users blog. The escalating vicious attacks and death threats culminated this past week in Kathy canceling public presentations, stopping her blog writings, and hiding out in her home. Reading Kathy’s blog about her experience was saddening, frustrating, and just downright scary to me.
In an effort to stem the increasing viciousness seen in blogs and websites, Andy Carvin, founding editor of the Digital Divide Network has declared today, March 30, 2007 Stop Cyberbullying Day. Andy’s hopes are that people will start talking about cyberbullying, and hopefully, employ strategies to combat it.
Robert Scoble has joined in the effort, commenting that Kathy’s situation has made him physically ill, concerned about his own safety, and declaring he will not post any articles to his blog this week in support of Kathy.
I was uplifted to hear how the web development community have joined their voices in outrage over Kathy’s situation. The last few days I’ve spent time learning more about how I can raise awareness about cyberbullying, and I’ve listed some resources below:
