Overlord is a Web 2.0 application for managing projects and people, built with PHP, MySQL, and AJAX. Installation is as simple as uploading the files to your own server and filling out a simple form. Once setup, you can add as many users as you like and setup as many projects as you like. Each project can have an unlimited number of milestones, tasks, checklists, bug reports, files and messages.

Overlord is primarily designed for mod or indie game developers and enables them to maintain an organized project and to keep their team members up to date. But with a little creativity, it could be used for almost anything.

With advanced task management options, there will never be a question about what each team member's assignments and responsibilities are, or what their progress is; everyone can see exactly what's going on at any time by checking the project overview. Developers can stay focused on creating their game or mod, instead of constantly worrying about who's doing what, when it's going to be done, or what they are supposed to be doing.

Communication is a snap with the built-in forum-style message system. Custom message categories for each project mean less clutter and confusion. Messages are stored on the site as long as you want, so you don't have to worry about losing any important information. And they can be tagged, making it easy to find them later.

The file manager allows almost all assets to be kept on the site, organized into user-defined folders and tagged with keywords to make finding the right file as easy as possible. Files can also be attached to any item and can be commented on by any user.
