I don't want to hijack the thread, but I felt this should be on-topic enough (given the early difficulty with MS Project).

Has anyone ever checked out dotProject? http://dotproject.net/

My partner and I are considering using this for something we're working on. He's busy installing it right now for evaluation on the same server we've already set up with Mantis for bug tracking and Perforce for source/content version control (Subversion and CVS just don't seem there yet).
