Not nearly as featureful (read: bloated, cough, cough) as MS
Project, but if all you want is simple Gantt charts and work
breakdowns then try out Imendio Planner for gnome, which can be
found under ports/deskutils.

The term 'featureful' obviously varies from individual to
individual and
situation to situation.
Agreed, but I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king
of infinite space. I like small, tightly focused apps. =)
I have used MS Project in the past, and found it to be a rather
useful
tool. The learning curve was not as extensive as I had first
feared. I
certainly did not find it to be over burdened by an excessive
number of
unused features. In fact, I rather appreciated the fact that they
were
available if I should ever require them.
To each, their own. My sense was the opposite though. The installer
is over 130 MB and there are many features I'd never go near,
mainly MS Project Server (and if I recall, Exchange) integration
stuff. In other words, a bunch of proprietary stuff without much
use to anyone outside of a largish Wincentric environment.
In any case, check out: http://www.openworkbench.org.
Someone else in the thread mentioned that one. I was disappointed
to see that it is not truly OSS (some components remain
proprietary, and actually playing with the code requires Visual
Studio, according to their FAQ).
Also, it is for Windows only, and while I have to use Windows every
day I quite frequently wish that I did not, so I'm not about to add
yet another Windows-only tool to the bag.
Anyone know any real OSS (preferably cross platform) app that does
what gnome planner does, only better?
I'm coming into this late, but did you ever consider eGroupware?
I think it's www.egroupware.org. We use it here fairly successfully.
