You may count me in for the 'user' portion as that's what I can 'do' only. Dennis/sg
I am a developer. I don't know a great deal about what's required of a good project management program, but if the potential users here (and elsewhere) got together and put up a requirements document, I'd be interested in participating in the development. I've seen one other person on this list show an interest. How many others are there? Can we make a sourceforge project of it, perhaps?
Regards Anders

I used M$ project98 about 1 year ago and found it to be a piece of totally useless sh**ware. The amount of 'features' (bugs) almost drives me crazy.
I really hope to see something on Linux with better usability. Pls get started and improve it along the way, though I am not a programmer and don't think can contribute anything on programming. : (
Just like Dia (Visio look-a-like), got to start somewhere.

You are exactly right. To be useful, it would be a complex, feature rich program. In fact, M$ Project is (IMHO) a very poor example of project management software.

I'm not in for discouraging people, but gosh, you sound like a true programmer ;-) I'd take your estimate, and multiply it by at least 3.1415926595 years ;) You see, good project management software is a white-collar package, meaning it has to have much more than just basic information about the project. There are cost estimates, resource
planning,
resource distribution, heck, I don't even know all the english words that fairly describe a project management system....
Personally, I'd LOVE to see a *NIX based project management system worth
the
attention. If you know M$-Project well enough, and think you can mimic it
in
a short period of time, _PLEASE_ do so :-)
But then, my personal believe is that there would be needed some Big Corporation (TM) involved as a client/test base, and that won't happen
just
yet. ( soon tho... I hope :-)
