Thank you Gora, i just need a desktop based application at this stage which can should be compatible with MS Project. I mean if any one want to open the project/file in the MS-Project then he/should do. Work planning and Resource management would be two major feature that required. I am not aware of web based open source tool available . i have seen that Open Proj is offering that feature as SaaS but that is paid. Is there any Open source- Project application that i can host centrally. Please advise.
