NewYork2008:Interactive Software Mapping Exercise

Together, we'll kick off a software mapping process! We'll encourage everyone to contribute the names of any software packages they're using in the project management process to a "Wall of Software". With everyone's help in arranging and making sense of the results, we'll form a map of the software that currently in use.

There's a provisional SSC toolbox with most of the tools: http://socialsourcecommons.org/toolkit/show/848

Lots of + signs mean lots of repeats. An * means we cannot find this tool on the web. Help us!
