I think it was briefly mentioned in the first round of "what tools are out
there".

Note that it says "under heavy development", and that it requires MySQL with
InnoDB.

with milestones, messages, ..etc.

There is even a comparison between them here, which is pro-ActiveCollab:

That API seems like a very good thing. Someone wants it Drupalized already.

Think of being able to create something like Basecamp within a Drupal
framework!

If someone else used ActiveCollab, can they please write what they
liked/disliked about it?
