Would you say that Gnome planner would be relatively easy for newbies to use
and cover the project planning basics of the type of project I described?
It's very easy if you've ever used Microsoft Project. It basically lets
you create a list of tasks, assign a duration, who is assigned to it,
what other tasks it depends on, etc. Then it will draw a nice Gantt chart.
And you can then track progress as the project moves along. I'm not sure
exactly what features you're looking for, but for what I've needed it's
pretty simple. And, since it's free, it costs nothing (besides a bit of
time) to try it out.

googling open source project management I came up with:

And a whole slew of others. I have not used any of them.
The program I use is Gnome Planner (http://live.gnome.org/Planner) which is
apparently also available on Windows (http://winplanner.sourceforge.net/).

I should have given you more information in my last post:
It's for use by a non-profit art group for managing a large and complex
yearly event. They have been doing it on paper and have basic
non-professional computer skills. (Windows based). One office manager
and several collaborators. They don't need an enterprise based tool.
