Here are some nice tutorials for dotProject Project management – very basic stuff.
I keep meaning to do some myself for youtube.
I have created some (I think) rather good ones for client companies, but I must make some for public use too.
Anyway, these 2 are kindly donated to the public and give a good basic overview:

Seems it’s something not everyone can install successfully, and although that was not my first stumbling block, I do find this module extremely useful AND rather aggravating in some ways.
I have tweaked the module to some extent – in particular, I have added a .jpg logo to the PDF invoice which is generated via the system.
It looks a lot better!
I have had to implement some workarounds too: for example, I add a “task log” to a task I’m billing for which has no cost code and some kind of text like “5% XYZ Tax” or “Invoice Paid In Full – Do Not Pay” (where I’m sending the invoice for something which has been prepaid).
Another foible of the dotProject invoice module is the ordering of the line items.
So far, I can just fiddle around a bit, emptying the line items and then re-adding them, so as to order them correctly (It doesn’t always matter that much – except in the workaround instances as above where taxes or other notes *must* appear at the bottom or top).
Anyway, I do have the invoice module working on my dotProject installations, and I have a lot of answers to common questions.
