As others have already mentioned the
3. What should a PM tool do
is the most interesting part (for us).
See more later in my reply.

As I see it there are to types of project management tools:
1. Generic applications used for project management like
- Wordprocessors
- Spreadsheets
- Email clients
- Browsers
- Calendars
- Databases
- Journaling systems
- ...
2. Project Management specific tools
- Project planning software
- Project controlling software
- Project information software
- ...

The alternative does not seem to be a part of the rest of the outline.
Either you should only look at open source PM tools or you should look at
all PM tools in the thesis.
I would also put the "What should a PM tool do" before analyzing the
project tools so you know what to look at in each tool. It is very
problematic to analyze the Strenghts / wearknesses when you don't know
which should be considered what.
I would look forward to read your thesis - even in German though I haven't
read German for years.
The most enjoyable greetings
