None of them that I know of allow you to define the project properly using a network diagram (often called a PERT or CPM chart) but instead you need to use a Gantt chart (or text in the case of TaskJuggler). The Gantt chart should really be the output of the planning process, not the input tool. If you don't need to do formal project planning (analysis of critical paths, resource levelling, and tracking completion, spend etc), I would suggest using Getting Things Gnome (GTG). GTG lets you use free form tags in such as @Office, @Home, @Computer etc, and also things like @Project, @Urgent etc. Both the tasks and the tags can be nested and you can also add start times and due times. GTG also synchronises with Evolution's task list, and also with Remember the Milk (although I have found the RTM sync to be a bit buggy) Phil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
