OT: Collanos -- Project Management that Makes Sense

I looked at it... has the same problem as so many other solutions: a lot 
of overhead, information relating to a given project will be quickly 
fragmented across different apps/spaces (whatever you want to call them) 
just like our wiki now!

I could see it might work for a company that lacks a lot of those 
infrastructures, but if  you just want to do project management and 
don't need or want web publishing, document storage, contact management 
calendering etc (we have all those).. you just want your team drilling 
down on tasks when they come to work...

Collanos is clean and lean. Just enough to get work done, all in one place.
