At Freelock Computing, several of our clients are looking for decent project management tools. We think we're going to roll our own solution, but have found a few new options.

First of all, a cross-platform desktop project management tool: GanttPV - Open Source Software for Project Management(link is external). Many of the desktop-oriented tools are rapidly gaining features comparable to MS Project, mainly in terms of resource scheduling. GanttProject(link is external) is definitely getting more mature, while Ganttlet(link is external) appears to be mostly ignored but just the thing for whipping out a quick Gantt chart.

Next, a couple of web-based applications. Achievo(link is external) is a basic resource scheduling and time tracking application. While the interface seems pretty lame, it has some great plugins available, and may well meet your needs quickly. Finally, Projectory(link is external) is a Perl-based project scheduling application.
