Another one worth mentioning is webcollab.   I had it running on
FreeBSD at my last job and it works great.

You're right.  The good point is that they left the shell directive out
there;  I've seen some Java projects that even don't mention the shell
directive at all, assuming all users use BASH as their shell!

I've fetched the source code and even the pre-compiled jar installation
from sourceforge.net; with the source, it took me half hour to guess
how to build and launch it and with the pre-compiled half hour to
make the launch shell script ready to run;

as always: nice Java, but less docs and even more less
robust shell scripts :-) , for example #!/bin/bash as shell

software (best if installed from ports but it is not really necessary). Many 
thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Some "content management systems" come with project management 
abilities (ports/deskutils/egroupware comes to my mind, but 
probably there are more). They will make your projects available 
via intranet or internet.

Forgot to add that I haven't tested OpenProj on FreeBSD yet.  But I
think as it's Java (Swing) based all you're required to have is Ant and
JDK.

Software project management is only a small subset of the project
management universe.



of course. in *nix world traditionally there are lots of small programs, 
each doing well it's small work, instead of one huge program.


it's good to concentrate on that solution and then search.

Software project management is only a small subset of the project
management universe.

In the Win32 world, probably the best OSS alternative to MS Project is
OpenWorkbench - http://www.openworkbench.org

In the *nix world, there are some alternatives, but I'm not familiar
with them.

However, this might yield some results for you:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=project+management+site%3Asf.net&btnG=Google+Search

In particular, I note http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotproject, which
looks interesting, though I've not tried it.

I don't think that's not the question, actually.  As I understand it,
he's asking for project planning software, you know, dates,
deliverables, etc.  M$ Project is the one thing I haven't seen
suitably reproduced or bested in the open source world.

CVS on the other hand, is version control, which can be completely
unrelated and independed of project management, particularly if the
project has nothing to do with code.  I know, this is a strange
concept for many on this list. :)

Nonetheless, even construction and urban development contractors use
project planning software.

If anyone knows of a project that actually does what M$ Project does,
I'd be interested as well.
