Topic: Feature Requests / Google Doc integration?

Why would 37signals do Google Doc integration when they don’t have Backpack or Highrise integration?

Topic: Feature Requests / One New Pricing Level

If you’re going to change the pricing plans, how about changing the real inequity of the plans: SSL is (effectively) $25 a month.

Topic: Miscellaneous / What's with the new signup page?

It now only lists Max, Plus, and Free. Have the other price/feature points been eliminated?

Topic: Feature Requests / Project Duplication or Template

This functionality has been requested by many users for over 4 years now. The fact that it’s still not there in all that time says they’ll never add it.

It doesn’t say anything about the new email feature. In fact, it still denies email works.

Topic: Tips & Tricks / Remove an Admin from a project

The owner is always assigned to every project. You can’t change that. A user can only be a member of one company unless you have two different logins.

Topic: Feature Requests / Templates for Milestones

Why just templates? It should be everything, really. Project templates (or to be more general, making a copy of a project) are one of the most requested items ever since Basecamp launched. I know they’re possible in principle, because Backpack allows you to copy pages with a single click. I don’t see why that can’t be doable in Basecamp, unless the implementation is totally screwed up. Besides which, it’s one of the most obvious features of any tool like Basecamp. Sadly, given that Basecamp is just beyond its fourth birthday, I conclude that if a feature as popular as “make a copy of a project” hasn’t been implemented in all that time it never will be implemented.
