Re: A project management tool that uses Bugzilla and Subversion

Well my company already has some project management software - though 
nobody much likes it - so I can't use any company time to re-create it. 
But I will comment as an occasional user of time-line or critical path 
management software dating back to the 1980's. It seems really important 
to use such tools, and in fact big projects with predictable resources ( 
non-software) may find them indispensable ( think soccer stadium, power 
plant). But I have never found a user who liked them. The whole things 
ends up feeling  oppressive and dreary somehow. If my feedback is 
commonly held, then I suggest there is something inherently wrong with 
the gannt chart/timeline concept itself. But I am not smart enough to 
know exactly what. :>)

OTOH Bugzilla-like software that keeps track of where you are and whats 
left to do meets with little resistance. go figure.

I am not religious about it, but python would be my second or third 
choice based on what tools and platforms are already available and 
debugged. If you really want to go there why not RonR?
