Secure Basecamp alternative: Collabtive 2.0

Title feels like a pretty obvious attempt to suggest that Basecamp is insecure. Along with this clear attempt at scaremongering:<p><i>Can&#x27;t overestimate this stuff in times like these...</i><p>And I&#x27;m sure that GoSi -- created within an hour of your post -- is nothing more than just a big fan of your work who had actually been planning to join HN for a while now:<p><i>after trying a million PM tools, it&#x27;s the only one my company uses besides Basecamp (which I personally hate).</i>

So the submission title implies that Basecamp is not secure. As a user of Basecamp, I was concerned, so I started Googling. However, I was unable to find articles that were from the last two years about any security issues (other than the DDOS extortion attempt).<p>Since I am already involved with a project that uses Basecamp, are there any specific reasons you can give for why I should switch?<p>I love Open Source and willing to try this in a future project. Thanks devs for working on this!

Beging part of the open source community behind Collabtive, I&#x27;m happy to release a version with much more security features and less vulnerabilities. Can&#x27;t overestimate this stuff in times like these...<p>On a lighter note: I implemented the new color scheme with the grey and green shades. Normally I write code, but design also intrigues me. Do you like the Spring theme? Anything I could do better next time?

I think this is my favorite PM tool to date. It even has the ability to add plugins, so you only end up with the features you want and need. Very nice to be able to reduce the clutter and customize.<p>It feels like a better Asana and, after trying a million PM tools, it&#x27;s the only one my company uses besides Basecamp (which I personally hate).
