well, it's as I've always said "big girls like to eat!"

Is to make your perm employees contractors, strip them of benefits, then lay them off. IBM has a rule about "supplemental employees" (ie contractors) that they can only work 18 months in the same business unit, then they have to wait six months before working again in the same unit. If your a contractor on a visa working at IBM, you should probably rent your place as you will most likely be sent back in 18 months. It works great for them, no raises, no benefits, no pensions, and you might work 80 hours a week while your here too.

Sweet! Thanks, I'll look at those over the weekend. I've gotten many of my friends to loving Drupal because of it's vast amount of plugins. I have yet to dip into doing any of my own, because this was really the only thing I couldn't find that already existed. I knew their had to be something out there, I just couldn't really find it. Now if I can just fix the access problems I'm having with it and cron.org to update my feeds lol

I've looked over the moduals at drupal.org, but haven't found anything useful. Does anyone know of a decent project management modual? I've used PHPProject in the past, it doesn't need to be as complex as that. I really just need to be able to assign tasks to users, define projects, and maybe allocate resources to tasks and projects. Gnatt, time estimates, milestones and such would be a positive bonus, but not a requirement. And no, I don't really have the time to make one myself...
