Re: free alternative to basecamp

Check out LiquidPlanner (www.liquidplanner.com).

It's a very powerful web-based project management system. And, while they
charge lots of money to corporations, they will provide it free to schools.
It's a little different than Basecamp and a bit different from MS Project.
Also, the free version only allows one project, but a project can have a
very large number of task groups so you could take each of your projects and
map it to a project group.
