Dear Mike,

I've been on the hunt myself, and done a bit of reviewing.
The best place to get lists of open source apps, I think, is

While I'm not sure that these do everything you want, my favorites based on
usability and simplicity are:
http://www.dotproject.net/
http://www.tutos.org/homepage/screens.html
http://www.phprojekt.com/features.php
http://www.courseforum.com/projectforum/index.html

The issue with most of these tools is that they are built BY small
programming houses for their own needs, so they tend to either be
super-specific, or have a horrible interface.
Why you guys like to click around so much I'll never understand :)

But there are some really nice efforts in there, and maybe you can re-do one
of these to suit your needs (if the license permits).

Please let us know what you choose. I'm personally implementing DotProject
myself in the next couple days.
