[...] There are a variety of possibilities in the open-source world, but you need to specify your requirements in a little more detail, e.g.: o Web-based, or desktop? o What are the features that you need: We wanted all of * Project planning * Resource planning * Issue tracking * Time sheets * Project management Wikipedia has a good link to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_project_management_software >From trying out many of these, the top web-based contenders for an all-in-one application seem to be Dot Project, and egroupware, though both have clunky interfaces. Have yet to try out Project.Net. On the desktop side, kplato (KDE) and planner (GNOME) handle project planning decently, and taskjuggler has some interesting approaches. Another possibility is Storm, a Drupal plugin, but that is still at an early stage of development. We are currently leaning towards building a mash-up, using APIs from best-of-breed open-source/proprietary applications in each of the above areas. Anyone interested in helping out is welcome to contact me off list.
