## What it is
Teambox (v3) is a self-hosted, open-source project management and team collaboration application built on Ruby on Rails, inspired by Basecamp. It offers project-centered workspaces with conversations, tasks, shared pages, file uploads, and posting via email.

## Use cases
- self-host a Basecamp-style project management tool
- manage team tasks and conversations in one place
- share files and pages within private projects
- post updates to a project via email
- run an open-source collaboration suite on my own server

## When to choose
- you want a fully self-hosted, AGPL-licensed collaboration tool you can modify
- you need a simple, project-centered task and conversation workspace
- you're studying or maintaining a legacy Ruby on Rails collaboration app

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained product with security updates
- you want modern integrations, mobile apps, or cloud features
- you're starting a new project - the successor (Redbooth) and modern alternatives are better supported

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, file-upload, workflow-automation
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: ruby, self-hosted
