At WordCamp NYC 2009, Ramil Teodosio’s session on WP Intranets was just what I needed for an upcoming project. In the session he walked us through a project management site he uses for software development in a group/team setting. He uses categories in some really clever ways along with a couple of plug-ins to build a pretty powerful application. In his words WordPress has become his “swiss army knife”, a flexible tool that can adapt to many different needs.
I have posted both the video and audio-only versions of the session. I’ll warn you, the video isn’t all that great. I’d hoped to be able to read the powerpoint screens, but as you’ll see it didn’t come out very well. Luckily Ramil’s narrative provides all the essential information. But it is nice to have a choice. Please let me know how these work for you.
