Project Pier looks pretty good - but i think im gonna go with a hosted solution
- Anthony Feint
I also found www.deskaway.com which looks like a decent option
- Anthony Feint
basecamp is really good, but frankly you can go just as far with a good wiki (i use PBwiki - although it's in the midst of a name change)
- Spotcher
spotcher: i did use Pbwiki although I was annoyed when they decided they didn't want to be a wiki anymore
- Anthony Feint
re pbwiki. not a wiki anymore? could you explain?
- Spotcher
yeah the name change was because their moving to be more of a "collaboration" platform rather than wiki hosting.

Jira is a mixed bag, nothign close to as powerful as Basecamp... Basecamp FTW for multiple reasons, one being that I ran a successful(until I resigned) interactive agency by BaseCamp and a few services that integrated with it.
- Mike Minor
looks like Basecamp is the favorite at the moment. pity they don't offer a free account
- Anthony Feint
Activecollab is cool. It's a paid for service and you have to host it, but lots of functionality.

Basecamp do a free account for 1 project and one user, which you could get a fair bit out of if made your whole business one project. Good topic, I'm looking for something at the moment that also incorporates timing tasks and invoicing which cashboard.com does.
- Deano @ Byron New Media
Try Pelotonics. As a former Basecamp users, it is like basecamp but with a full calendar and you can have due dates on tasks among other nice adds.

I've used Google Sites as a wiki style PM tool. Worked reasonably well.
- Rajit
I think there is a tool called redmine, open-source.

Does basecamp still offer a free account? I couldn't find it
- Anthony Feint
I like Zoho better then BC. Now using Toodledoo with good results. Zoho has more options for groups.
- Dawn Wentworth
Love Basecamp, highly recommended, try it out you get a few free projects
- Miguel Rodriguez
Really depends on your needs. Does it have to be free? Is project collaboration important? With how many people? Do you want the ability to customize forms, row and field names, reports, permission levels? I work for Intuit & use/recommend QuickBase for PM - we offer a free 30-day trial - but not a free account. You can find out more here: http://bit.ly/37FWZ

PBwiki (now PBworks) has a Project Edition coming out in a few weeks you'll want to check out.
- David Weekly
yeah i'll check out PBWorks. David if you could send me an email ( anthony@feint.me ) when it launches i'll do a writeup on idezy.com as well
- Anthony Feint
I'm trying PBWorks project edition now. The only feedback I have about the project management tools is adding maybe one more level of granularity to tasks. In Basecamp you can have a task list to group tasks and multiple task lists can belong to a single milestone. This works well for agile development. Everything else seems great though.
- Blair Rorani
Zoho has also got some good reviews though I have yet to try it.
- Dilip Dand
What about using friendfeed? I find Basecamp to fussy if all you need is a place to share content, comment, discuss, signoff.
- Chris Hart
If you're into Agile, then try Assembla.com
