Jim Weirich was kind enough to let me hijack the storycards on Rubyforge. I knew he had started a storycards project and that he had basically abandonded it. Well, really he gave the project to John Wilgar who renamed it to eXPlainPMT. So, it’s official. Jim has given me the name “storycards” so there’s no confusion between his pre-alpha project and what I’m doing.
Also, if you’re interested I’ve setup darcs2rss to generate an rss feed of my project changes.

I’ve started working on Storycards. I’ve looked at a bunch of solutions for project planning. None of what I’ve looked at really models how I like to work. 37Signals has several products that work very much like what I want. The problem is that none of them are exactly what I want. What’s more, to their prices for the version of basecamp that includes time tracking is simply too expensive for me. John Wilgar has written eXPlainPMT, an XP-based project management app. Even though John’s doing some great work, I think it’s just too heavy for me.
So, I’m going to roll my own. I don’t have a lot of time to devote to this. My plan is to keep it very simple. I hope to just pick off each of my “requirements” one by one as I can. I’m thinking maybe one requirement a week. We’ll see. Feel free to grab the code. Send me patches and I’ll be glad to look at them. Oh, yea. Of course, this is in Ruby on Rails. The link above has my project summary and goals.
