Which project management application would you like it for? Also, would anyone know a way to get in touch with Ray? I'd love to invite him to speak at the <a href="http://itredux.com/blog/2006/07/26/office-20-conference-dates-and-location/">Office 2.0 Conference</a>. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently said that <a href="">software is becoming a service</a>, so I would think that Microsoft's participation could add a lot to the event. Ryan,

As you know, Ray and his company were absorbed into Microsoft, and the rest is history. It seems to me that Groove could (have) be(en) a candidate for Office 2.0, with very strong project management tools such as Gantt charting and critical path management developed by a company called <a href="http://www.teamdirection.com/">TeamDirection</a>. Most of the current Office 2.0 applications call themselves "project management" tools, but even though sophisticated and powerful, their functionality is more that of a to-do list with collaboration features. Basecamp is a good example. Finally to my point -- Gantt chart and critical path functionalities are key to a good project management application, and maybe we should enter them as a feature requests for the Office 2.0 project management applications in your database. Just a thought, -Ryan Ismael,
