Hello,

I would like to generate an email notifier whenever a project is
(a) created and (b) finished. Is there an easy way to obtain this functionality (without mixing my code with Achievo's native sources, if possible)?

Looking at "config.menu.inc" I figured, function "project()" in file "class.project.inc" is called when I go to view "project administration". But to which action do I have to attach my code and how?

All suggestions will be appreciated!
Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Nele.
