Project 12 Reporting Database
Abstract from Evil Doctor PorkChop (Indexed 2006-01-23):

Abstract from Evil Doctor PorkChop (Indexed 2006-01-19):
Being at Project Conference allows us to hear how people are using the product of our work in the "real world".

Jack Dahlgren Project Blog goes over a Project 12 feature list. I like his list but wanted to add a few features that I find exciting.
