When I need a job, I'm quite happy to see them! (not that I'd be qualified for any jobs posted to *this* list) What bugged me about the most recent posting was simply the marketing-speak. Just give us the facts and leave the hype at home. -- Rich

Hello Walt, I tried Mr. Project several years ago when the project was in its infancy. It worked pretty well - minus the crashes ;). I decided to wait for it to stabilize, but forgot about it. Now I can only find package links - all the "home page" links on various sites are dead. Is Mr. Project still alive? -Adam On 6/20/07, Walt Sawyer <wsawyer(a)norfolk-county.com> wrote: > > Have you tried MrProject<http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i686/PLD/RPMS/mrproject-0.5.…>? > I've used it for my projects.

Have you tried MrProject <http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i686/PLD/RPMS/mrproject-0.5.…>? I've used it for my projects. I think it works ok.

I haven't not used it, yet. But I think it may worth having a look at. http://live.gnome.org/Planner baris

I think a did download a few bazillion apps trying to find something like this and I ended up with dot project which I've been using recently. It has a lot of options and it isn't always intuitive at first how to get it to do what you want, but it does everything that I need it to and seems to work well doing gantt charts and task lists between different projects. Also has all sorts of other options that I haven't used so all I can vouch for is the task planning and time tracking but it sounds like it might be what you're looking for. http://www.dotproject.net > I would like both Gantt and PERT with critical path and milestones... > This > is primarily for keeping track of the flow and status of a bunch of > projects > (where are we, what comes next, what is holding up the works, etc.), and > for > tasks within a project.

This isn't really the same type of application I'm looking for - this is more like a to-do app... I'm looking for a tool that will generate project related info (the standard PERT, critical path, Gantt, etc.) based on some data. Thanks for the idea of a wiki though - I may be able to use that for something else!
