I'm working on a Project Management/tracking site for work.  it's driving me up the wall.  I've been going around and around trying to get the usability of the dashboard views right using contrib modules, and every time I try another path I end up on a dead end. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating.

I started with Storm -- which is on the way to being somethign that will be really great, but I don't have the time to wait for it to be completed -- so I'm going to have to roll my own recipie.  And, so, the adventure begins.

This week I have started a new project -- building a Project Management, ticketing, and time tracking system for the company I work for.  We're an educational services company, and provide a very diverse set of services, and have always operated without this sort of direct tracking and data gathering for our work; as the company grows and evovles, we are finding that we need to operate more like a business and less like a school -- and more and more like a 21st century business.
