Introduction

Storm is a project management application for Drupal.

It consists of a set of modules as follows: Storm (base module), Organizations, Projects, Tasks, Teams, Tickets, Timetrackings, People, Notes, Invoices and Expenses.

For all bug reports, support and feature requests, please use the issues queue.

Each of these provides permissions to control the sharing of data with other users and organizations, and link together - for example, an invoice can be associated with an organization and project.

All components are nodes, so can be extended as follows:

• CCK can be used to add more fields to the Storm content types
• Views can build customised views
• Taxonomy (core) can be used to tag the contents of the Storm nodes
• Upload (core) can be used to attach files to Storm nodes
• Comments (core) can be used to permit comments on each of the Storm nodes
