Maxwell – And no, you shouldn’t lose any functionality. In fact, if you explore the Release Notes page – http://wiki.web2project.net/index.php?title=Category:Release_Notes – each release has its new functionality described. Most are just one-line descriptions, but most are pretty clear.

Doh, I just caught this thread…

Kyle, thanks again for the kind words. :)

Maxwell, to import your users, you have to go through the conversion process instead of the Install. Your best bet is to follow the instructions here – http://wiki.web2project.net/index.php?title=V1.2_Release_Notes

That said, I’m working hard to roll the v1.3 release this week. It’s a couple weeks later than planned, but sometimes life gets in the way.

Do you know that you can import all your dp data into w2p? My business's w2p data started life as dp data. If you only want to bring over users, there's probably a sql statement you can run from the old db to the new; check out the w2p forums for an answer.

Well, I just installed Web2Project on my client’s LIVE server. The install went smoooth. Any way to import the users I created in dotProject or do I have to re-type?

Maxwell: for me, W2P is the only way to go. I haven't used DP in 2 years, but at the time of my switch it was remarkable how much more stable and quick W2P is. Keith Casey somehow manages to do this FLOSS work and is a vibrant poster to the W2P forums. If you place your question there I'm confident you'll get an answer.

Hey dudes! I’m looking at dotProject to use in tandem with vTiger CRM but after reading the info on Web2Project, I think I’ll have to take it for a spin.
I’ve always taken my hats off to open source developers because they’re doing other people (and companies) a favour. Perhaps the dotProject guys got a little burnt out?

Casey, are there any features in dotProject that DIDN’T get into Web2Project? In other words, are we gonna lose out on anything?
And when is SimpleScripts and Fantastico gonna have Web2Project installers?

Hi, core web2project contributor here.

First off, thanks for giving the system a try. It’s good to see people trying it and even better when they enjoy the result. We’ve spent a long time trying to make the system better in general. More than anything, we do quarterly releases to keep development and activity moving. We’re *never* going to go 2+ years without a release.

On the flip side, I’d like to get a bit more information on your problem… was this the v1.1 release? You said you had to modify the case statement. What was it trying to do before you made the change? I’ve made some tweaks for the next release – scheduled for December – that should resolve at least one issue.

Finally, while we don’t support Ticketsmith anymore, we don’t delete the data on purpose. For all we know, your organization might need the data for archival purposes or you might pick up development of the module… it’s safer for us not to delete anything. :)

Thanks again. :)
