Hi and thank you for the comment.

Version 1 is not planned soon as we have big goals gor it.
But OBM is already usable for production (we use it as many others).

Version 0.7 is due out soon (early september) with great enhancements
- new display fully CSS, with only one layout function,
- each modules ported to new display with new (and better) look
- new module : project management
- time module totally rewritten
- dynamic lists
- group module
- csv exports for all result lists
- ...

Sure you are allowed.
Not so difficult but a little code tweaking (to remove tabs and menus not used. 
This could or should be done only by commenting out $menus definitions in 
obminclude/global_pref.inc)

what are the steps you are not allowed to do ?

$obminclude can be set manually instead of being returned by apache (and so 
needing an httpd.conf modif and an php.ini modif)
/images is an apache alias to the current theme.
You could copy all the themes images in a directory named image in you web root 
tree.

Hopes this helps.
