Since my personal software project is unbounded, it's easy to slack and make very slow progress. I need to set dates.

What do Open Source developers use for project management? Apparently, most of them aren't quite sure what that means .

Not that I blame them. I haven't been totally sure what I want. Gantt charts seem like unmaintainable overkill, and not my style. There's Projity's OpenProj , but I tend to avoid desktop apps. BaseCamp ? I'm even less likely to use a hosted solution.

Let's try Remind . I think this can only work if my solution is lightweight and simple. I add a few lines to my .remind file.

# Project management
REM 24 Aug 2008 +21 MSG Dev complete %b
REM 7 Sep 2008 +14 MSG QA complete %b
REM 28 Sep 2008 +21 MSG Portal built, 0.0 release %b

Ah, project management in four lines :-) Let's see how this turns out, shall we?
