Another possibility would be 
glow(http://groupware.openoffice.org/glow/user/getstarted/index.html) .  
Sun may have had internal reasons for discontinuing development, but as 
it is opensourced it might be worth pulling into OpenSolaris, at least 
until something else reaches glow's current level of usability.  Since 
glow and OpenProj are both Java applications, it would be really cool to 
see some level of integration between OpenProj and glow.
