[...] (I’m actually now using a very recent fork of Redmine, called Chiliproject.) I’ve waxed on about this tool ever since I’ve found it, and I would love to challenge a loyal Basecamp user [...]

You might also be interested in using a plugin called Redmine Backlogs.

I implemented Redmine a year or so as a pilot and we’re now rolling it out for use in our college class.

As to Gantt charts / config files – be careful if you alter the language file (en.yml) as it will get overwritten with each new release! Keep track of which lines you actually change so that you can replace those same lines again after an upgrade.

Much easier, maybe don’t bother! Simply teach your users about the terminology twist…

Thanks for that tip. I might actually change the terminology in the config file.

I’m a big fan of Redmine – I’ve used it for several years as my project management application, and have convinced a few others to install it and for the most part they were pleased.

You can actually do “Milestones” but the nomenclature is a little confusing. Create “Versions” for your Project, and then assign Issues to Versions, and when you look at the charts you’ll see the “Milestones.” You can change these (and other) labels in a config file if you want.

The Gantt / time tracking / % complete features are nowhere near MS Project, but I’ve never really needed them to be.

Good luck!
