Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

Thank you! This particular issue is something that I only started to become aware of a few days ago, so I'm still trying to learn more before pushing for any big changes. I don't know that self hosting is even the right solution for our group, so I'm glad to see that they also offer a hosted option, although the self hosted option seems like a great way for me to test it out.

    I was curious so I took a closer look at Sheltermanager and, honestly, I'm very impressed. They have a free demo on their site so you can show it off to people and see if there's any interest.

    And agree, self-hosting doesn't sound like it would suit them or you, but you asked in an opensource thread and that is nearly always self-hosted. SM looks quite fairly priced for a hosted solution.

    Oh yeah, I'm very much aware of where I asked. Haha. I see an opportunity where I can at least advocate for the FOSS options, so I'm trying to learn what those are and how they compare to other solutions before I make any suggestions to the decision makers.

    I was recently laid off, and have been wanting to explore some personal self hosting projects, plus I'm hoping to make a bit of a career pivot, so my interest is coming from a variety of motivations.
