CiviCRM, a free and open source contact and relationship management system designed for (and by) nonprofits, is making progress! It is LAMP based, currently running as a drupal module, and will drive the CRM functionality of CivicSpace. You've probably been watching this CiviCRM thing and the word "vaporware" popped into your head. That's OK, we don't blame you one bit. But we are banking on your guilt (or better yet, your excitement) to now drive your contributions to CiviCRM. ;) We are following the open source process of "release early, release often." You will find a relatively recent, relatively stable snapshot of CiviCRM WORK-IN-PROGRESS here for you to play with. We will be adding and refining functionality on a daily basis - so please be forgiving...some things just don't work yet...and come back regularly. http://sandbox.openngo.org/crm/ username: demo password: demo Please provide comments on the demo. Tell us what's good, what's bad and what's missing.
