Started with the alternatives for GoogleDocs and after reading here the post about alternatives for proprietary software, I've decided to continue with the alternatives for another famous proprietary software, but for project management. The application is called Basecamp. As you may know, there are a lot of good open source alternatives for Basecamp, which would help you to manage your projects totally for free. Let's review some of these applications...

1. phpCollab

The most wanted features are included: features team/client sites, task assignment, document repository/workflow, gantt charts, discussions, calendar, notifications, support requests, weblog newsdesk, invoicing, etc..
