ProjectWizards have began beta testing Merlin 2.5. The company is opening up the beta program on its Website for people interested in trying the software out. more

I appreciate that this story is basically a regurgitation of a press release but don't you think it would be helpful to provide a little bit of editorial input and tell us what the software is. If you don't provide any value, there's no point in coming here.

I agree with mswebb. Sure, I could investigate further, but even a short press release rehash like this should make SOME mention of what the heck Merlin is. A wizard? A muffler service?

I happen to test this product just for 10 min and then i found a lot of console error. May be the product is quite stable at the UI level. But i still feel its not work a review because almost all project management softwares offers these features and moreover this product is just not built in the Mac Way. It looks more like a PC kind of Application. Ok Here are the console exceptions. The app could not even withstand 10 minutes of testing.
