[ilugd] Microsoft Project 2003 Alternative to Open Source
Hi, I need to suggest an open source alternative to MS project 2003 to our Engineering team. while googling i found two such open source project which are equivalent to MS Project. 1. Open workbench , it is open source but sponsored by CA. http://www.openworkbench.org/index.php?option=com_docmanItemid=28 2. OpenProj 0.9.6 http://openproj.org/openproj If anyone has tested or used in past or using in present then please suggest which one is good to go. many thanks in advance.

It can open MS Project files without any problem but cannot save in that format. If you want to send your files to some one who has only MS Project then the work around is to save the file in XML format, which can be opened in MS Project. If anyone has tested or used in past or using in present then please suggest which one is good to go. many thanks in advance. Best Regards --N Regards, G.

While not a well known project, I had found 'faces' to be very attractive and potentially useful even when it had very little GUI. The GUI is now present but different - that may have made it difficult to get accepted and the project has been dormant for a year. That is a pity because I have felt that managers with programming background should have loved this tool. Oh, well. http://faces.homeip.net/ Regards Anil ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I mean if any one want to open the project/file in the MS-Project then he/should do. Work planning and Resource management would be two major feature that required. I am not aware of web based open source tool available . i have seen that Open Proj is offering that feature as SaaS but that is paid. Is there any Open source- Project application that i can host centrally. Please advise.

At that time openproj was the only desktop type solution, that is open source and cross platform as well. Others were all client (browser)/ server architecture. Most of them did not have the PERT/CPM feature which was a key requirement. The author (company) of openproj also has a browser/server version with PERT/CPM. It is SAAS and per user subscription based.
