Project management question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I have been struggling with cross platform open source project
management software. The situation is not pretty. All packages seems to
be very far from usable. 'Little' things like task dependencies (as in,
many do not support the notion). Or getting a simple list of the total
hours that an individual will spend on the project.

I have been closest with

	egroueware's project module (PHP-based) - But it does not
		do task dependencies. If a task slides, you must
		edit all effected tasks by hand. You must independently
		keep track of which tasks those are...

	GanttProject (Java based) - No resource summaries. Just their
		names and addresses. Not time they are requiring.

I have tried a literal plethora of these things. But not a single one
was usable. Which means that either I am expecting too much (don't think
so) or these tools are not understood in the Open Source community
(can't think so).

There was a threat to me today that I would have to start using MS
Project. Talk about messing up a good day. And generally souring the
tone of this mail as well...

Does anyone have any pointers to this kind of thing? There are lots of
crappy ones out there. I mean pointers to ones that seriously work. Ones
that, perhaps, you yourself are using.

And if I suggest we buy one, I have been told it will be MS Project. And
I may not get away with codeweavers/wine on that one as it seems there
are 'issues'.

So, help !!!!
