I've looked at Chandler as part of our ongoing review of project mangers and it has a very nice desktop GUI with a pretty impressive java based server (and here is the but) It is not a project manager only a task manager Re: PP - We made one change to Project Pier in that we added a Todo screen with only your todo's - this esp important for a manager overseeing many projects, the standard todo list shows all Todo that are not assigned plus yours. Since PP is a well structured object oriented PHP5 MVC application, once you track the right part of the code, all else flows for changes.
