The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ!

At the very first glance this book's title interested me, intrigued me more to read and know about Christ - A Great Reformer, Teacher and Guardian!

From the preface, I understood the content is not something against Christianity, but gives some insight into the unknown period of Jesus - 20s to 30 ages.

Once South Africa's president quoted this in a meeting at India (in year 2010): You gave Gandhi to us, we gave you back Mahatma.
That is South Africa gave the exposure, experience and situations for changing an individual, Gandhi, to Mahatma.

In the same lines I became curious to know how the child become a Christ, and which in turn made a very strong religion Christianity!

No offense meant in my above comments - if any one feel so. Its just my thought!

Project Management Tool (Collaborator)

This is a good Project Management Tool I have seen so far.

It also has a vast list of extensions to plugin with other components, like Documentation (wiki, twiki etc), Bug trackers (Bugzilla, Trac etc), Calender func for Time tracking, Repositories (Mercurial, GIT, SVN etc), Diff viewer for the code, Code reviewing components etc.

Just have this in your env, you dont need to jump around multiple links for collaborating between PM to Dev to QA to Customer Support team.
