I've been watching this project for a while but have never contributed. What can I do to help?

mpolito,
To help? Well, at the moment i've not really got any roadmap defined, so that is really an open ended question.
Things i can think of off the top of my head: <ul> <li>Use it and find all of the bugs</li> <li>Implement the configuration option for changing the current theme (so one can easily use all of those lovely ProjectPier themes)</li> <li>Make a simple plugin system (To keep up with ProjectPier, perhaps something like in Retrospectiva)</li> <li>Write some unit tests (as of yet, i haven't really bothered with this)</li> </ul>
Thanks for your interest.

Playing around with RailsCollab over the weekend. Pretty nice!
I noticed that Administration -> System pulls up a Localization error, which I can't figure out. And the Basecamp Migration script took quite a long to time to get through (probably mostly from my lengthy Basecamp export file).

Larry,
Thanks for trying out RailsCollab.
The configuration options for Administration -> System have not been localized, thus the localization errors. In ActiveCollab they are usually hidden, thus why i haven't localized them yet.
Nice to hear you got the Basecamp Migration working. Since i only had one free Basecamp account, i didn't have much to test the feature with. So it's no surprise that it is a little bit slow.

Ah, well that makes sense on the Admin screen.
The Basecamp import isn't slow from an execution perspective. It was a great deal of trial, error, edit, repeat to get my import to complete successfully. I ended up getting rid of all my time records (which wasn't that big a deal) and tweaking some of the assignments of task items.
I could send you the diff of my final Basecamp import file if you want. I did make a couple of very, very minor changes to the importing script, which I can also send you if you like.

Larry,
I would be very interested in the changes made to the import script, especially if they improve the accuracy of the import.
Thanks again.

I get an error when trying to log in... "Erroneous identity fields provided." Please help...

Matt,
Your OpenID provider needs to provide a nickname, email, and full name. If for whatever reason it doesn't, then you will get that error. (Come to think of it i'd better go over that code again just to check it works correctly)
To save you the trouble of figuring that all out, i have made you an account with your OpenID.
