Nice to hear! As for help, well basically just use it and give feedback is all that i ask.

If you are technically inclined, you might want to also fork it and implement some cool new feature or bugfix. There is actually quite a lively level of forking activity on the RailsCollab project (looking at the github page).

Same goes to Rucksack as well, btw :)

For the record, I love RailsCollab! It's going to save me $500+ this year alone. What kind of help would you like with it?

Hi James,

It's interesting to see someone finally picked up on this. I always wondered why there weren't any open clones of the excellent backpack service. I myself tried to build a clone and have an alpha type working version ready which i myself have been using for a while now. I haven't opened up the source yet, because the code at the moment is nothing to write home about :) If you like I could set up a copy for you to check out. You're also welcome to have the source code if you like, perhaps it can be of use. Just mail me if you're interested.

Regards,
