title: Which Project Management Software is adequate for Software & Non-Software Projects?
body: <p><strong>PMS = (Project Management Software)</strong></p>
  
  <p>I used trac for software development some time ago. Right now I'm searching for a new more powerful (scheduling, gantt charts, ...) free solution (as in free beer ;-) and free to install on my server) for my current software project. </p>
  
  <p>Besides the current software project, abstract project management features like issue-tracking &amp; scheduling would be great for coordinating a group of volunteers for real-life projects as well. I would want one solution for both purposes, so that I have the hassle of installation, getting used to the system and administration only once.</p>
  
  <p>So I tried redmine but the problem is it seems to be designed for software projects only. I can't suggest such a solution for the volunteer-group if tickets/issues would have to be of type bug, feature, ...</p>
  
  <p>I shortlisted the following six PMS from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_project_management_software" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wikipedia comparison</a>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Project.net  </li>
  <li>Project-Open  </li>
  <li>Redmine  </li>
  <li>Trac  </li>
  <li>Endeavour Software Project Management  </li>
  <li>eGroupWare  </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I guess they are all more or less fine for software development but would you consider any of these to be good for the non-software project as well?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Cliff Notes:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I would want a start page situation like in trac.
  The start-page is a wiki presenting the project and not the PMS. But you can log into the PMS from there.  </p>
  
  <p><em>Feature-wish list</em>: wiki, Issue tracking, revision control, scheduling &amp; gantt charts, forums (least important)
  (Btw: I'm very aware that I can't expect everything to be perfect ;-)</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Do you know a suitable solution for software and real-life projects or a highly customizable PMS where I can easily remove sth. like "browse source"(trac) and rename things like ticket/issue-types "bug", "feature"?</p></li>
  <li><p>Any experience good/bad with the above mentioned six PMS? 
  I would personally guess that "Redmine" and "Endeavour Software Project Management" are too focused on software projects.</p></li>
