Benjamin Young’s Summary
Web Developer and Information Architect focused on building web sites and information management tools that are simple, fast, focused, and standards compliant.
Two products keep most of my attention: dotProject and BigBlueHat's BlueInk CMS.
dotProject is an open source project management tool focused on being usable as a general use, time focused project management system. My company and I have been working with dotProject since early 2004. Since then we've contributed to the core dotProject system and the HelpDesk system and have made several custom modifications for specific clients. Our goal for dotProject is that it become the premier open source project management tool.
BlueInk Content Management System (CMS) is my company's own home-grown CMS. It's focus is on usability and simplicity. Tasks that would take several clicks and page loads in other CMS's take far fewer in BlueInk. BlueInk is available for small to medium sized businesses, and can be customized with for specific needs for larger business that may have more specific types of content.
