I recently installed the Storm module on Drupal 5 in the hopes of using it as part of a Drupal-based office Intranet for Project and task management, time tracking, etc. It all looked very promising and seemed a much simpler option than scouring the internet in the hopes of finding another program to do the same thing. I'm having a few problems with it though, mainly stemming from an utter lack of documentation. For instance:

- what is a ticket? What are they for?
- Info such as Countries and Currencies is listed under attributes in the brief module write-up, but I can't seem to edit or even find that info anywhere in my instance.
- I'm sure I can think of more, but I haven't had much of a chance to try it out much yet.

Along the lines of the lack of documentation, when I checked back today, I found that storm 5.x-1.14 was no longer available for download without navigated directly to the release notes. Apparently, now the module is only available for 6. Where does that leave me having already installed it?

I really want to use Drupal to manage projects and hours, but I've been barking up this tree for a while now and am beginning to wonder if it's possible. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks

Alex,

STORM has recently undergone a change of maintainer, and to keep that simple, part of that is that STORM for Drupal 5 is not being supported. 5.x-1.14 can still be downloaded from http://drupal.org/node/342264 and I believe it is stable, but you are better using the Drupal 6 version if you can as this is undergoing active development and bug fixes.

The lack of documentation is something that has been picked up upon and is being fixed... gradually! It would be really helpful if you could post at http://drupal.org/node/367904 with specific needs. As a positive note though, STORM now ships with a README.txt, INSTALL.txt and CHANGELOG.txt, which hopefully will help!
