dotProject is miles better than PHProjekt, but it's navigation is confusing
and illogical. Trac is in essence a ticketing system masquerading as a project
management system. The only really promising open source system I found was
activeCollab, which became closed source and commercial as soon as it was
starting to get somewhere. There is a fork of the last open source version,
called Project Pier, but the last time I looked at it, there wasn't much going
on. You might want to see where they are now.
I actually started my own open source project management system, modeled after
Basecamp and called Project HQ, but it's not really at a production-ready
stage yet. The project website is http://projecthq.org/ - there's a demo of
the latest version there if you want to play around with it.
Hope this helps.
