Hi All,

Can anyone give me any pointers to a good Project Managment software that may run ok on SME ?

I imagine it will have some king of gant type charting for time schedules etc - I'm sure I have seen something like this but cant find it now !

Thanks in advance !

Have a look at http://www.redmine.org/

It has an extensive list of features:

    * Multiple projects support
    * Flexible role based access control.
    * Flexible issue tracking system
    * Gantt chart and calendar
    * News, documents & files management
    * Feeds & email notifications.
    * Per project wiki
    * Per project forums
    * Simple time tracking functionality
    * Custom fields for issues, projects and users
    * SCM integration (SVN, CVS, Mercurial, Bazaar and Darcs)
    * Multiple LDAP authentication support
    * User self-registration support
    * Multilanguage support
    * Multiple databases support

I tried it and was able to get it running quite quickly using the debug web server. It should not be that hard get it to run as a proper service with the new mod_rails for apache: www.modrails.com

Although I have not used it for real, it looks really nice (better than Trac).
