[Discuss] Please point me to the thread about open-source software project management tools

[John Hall]

Bill,
I am interested in what you choose, and your notes.
If it's a small project a directory for notes, media, and collaboration as
part of a repository, and email, can be be enough for collaboration.
Also I've not worked with gantt in redmine, Maybe it's possible to use Mr
Project / Planner as Mike suggested, together with it, or at least prime
 it with a nice list of tasks.

>From what you describe redmine might be a good solution. It will run fine
on mac but I'd try to avoid that myself.  I find it harder to administer
than Linux. I'd run it in a Linux based virtual machine if you have an
extra Gig  of free RAM to dedicate.
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/redmine, and i'd use bridged networking if you
have an extra dedicated / dhcp assignable IP address, that way mac mini can
use all it's ports separately.

I've been looking at some similar tools. I might share that in a separate
thread later as it's fairly tangential given your requirements.
Cheers,
John Hall
Software Developer
