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!
