Urgent question for IT geeks
 

Anyone familiar with Basecamp (web-based project collaboration thingy)?

Does it work?

Can not very computerate people learn how to use it quickly?

Is it secure (very important, this bit)?

If I've never heard of a product, I tend to go by first impressions of their own website and in particular their home page. I've just checked it out. :unsure: Won't MS Project do for you? Even MS Outlook can provide basic project type activites like task management, calendar, notes, etc.

I wouldn't call myself a geek though. I like the term, "non-centric specialist" better.

I gather that my computer nerd son exchanges information on topics like this at Slashdot.

Depends how much it costs I guess..... if that's not an issue I'd look at Sharepoint instead :-

Unfortunateley many companies specify which software they want you to use to collaborate with them... I went through this in automotive one time with D-C.
