Really no free project management tools?

Today I was looking for an alternative to OpenProj, which is used for PM by us, but has some restrictions e.g. in print options.

I thought there should be many different tools to replace Microsoft Project in an adequate manner. Very frustrating, there aren’t :-( I tested nearly 20 tools, some web based, some native clients, even one Windows only software (Open Workbench) running under Wine. But none of them has more than a base set of functions and every tool is not able to create user friendly printoutsof large Gantt diagrams, scaled to one page.

So I think our OpenProj is the best choice for our requirements. … :-(

    The City of Freiburg has tested some of these applications and has come to the conclusion that GanttProject is most reilable and scalable. I personally disagree, as I don’t have any similar experiences, and GanttProject is a sorry mess license-wise. Internally, we use OpenProj for computer-aided planning steps.

    GanttProject is a nice tool, but I miss many statistic functions OpenProj already has. And GanttProject has the same printing feature missing like OpenProj… I need to scale the size of the Gantt diagram e.g. to one page. That’s impossible with an bigger project :-(

    I’d vote for GanttProject, also. Openproj just doesn’t feel free the way GanttProject does.

    Scaling _could_ imho be done with the PS output, also. Maybe the road to OSS PM is extending (again).

    Just my 2c
