It sounds like we have the core of a requirements team, as well as a coder or two willing to help. I really would love to be part of an effort to build a good project management tool. I've got room on my web page for a requirements document. I think what we would need more than anything is a site to sponsor an email list. Any suggestions?
OK folks. I took the liberty yesterday of setting up a mailing list. I think what should happen now is that folks that are interested should join this list (or another list) to discuss where things are going to go from here. For example, whether everyone wants to pick a currently existing 'project' and contribute to that, or if people want to start up a completely new project. Once people have decided what's going to happen, we can join the list for the project we work on or create a new sourceforge list (depending upon what the decision is).
If you're interested, then send a message to: lx-project-request@wired.st-and.ac.uk with the word 'subscribe' in the body of the message.
Note a couple of caveats - don't send messages to majordomo@... If you must go through majordomo directly, use mdomo@... You may also notice some very strange things happening with domain names as you do this - please just ignore this and hopefully it will disappear soon.
In case you didn't figure it out already, I'm interested to...
I'm sending a copy of this message directly to all those who have expressed an interest - hope you don't mind.

I'm not a member of this list but my Other Half is and he's forwarded me this discussion thread since it's a long time interest and concern of mine as a project manager. I find MS Project a completely useless, frustrating time and energy waster and I've given up on it professionally. As a survival strategy, I've had to design processes and utilise available company tools/utilities in custom combinations to replace it. This is a kludge, of course and makes ISO 9001 compliance more difficult than it should be. I'd be very interested in helping generate a requirements document and participating in the development in any way I can.
Note: I am not now and never have been a programmer. However, I've been involved in project management for a long time as well as program development from a management perspective.
Have fun, Chris Is the mailing list running? I have seen no messages since subscribing other than my confirmation.
