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 :-) -tosi
It ought to be easy to write Project Management software - I reckon I could write the implementation in a few weeks in C++, Java or, at a push, C. Is anyone out there confident enough to write a GUI in Qt, GTK(+/--) or Java or specify what basic functionality would be needed?

Thanks for the link, I also found a prog for making Gantt charts http://www.gumbley.demon.co.uk/qtgantt.html#6 but so far nothing that can really compare to ms project. I think Ed was right, having project management software under Linux that can compare to ms project or exceed it would be a very positive thing. The cheapest I have seen ms project sell for is $315 and with XP coming out no doubt a newer more expensive version of ms project will follow. The more we can show people how much money they can save by using linux the more they will be inclined to learn how to use it.
