Subsequent to a DRV restoration which overturned the original AfD decision to delete, the article was again nominated for deletion on 5 October 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

FWIW, I'm strongly inclined toward keep. Obviously a lot of work has gone into this over a several year period. There is a moderately active forum as these things go, apparently using the project rather quietly to manage real-world projects, and a reasonable cycle of maintenance releases. I think the main problem with lack of notability is that PM software is very dull to write about. If you search the Fedora core package list for GANTT it's one of two results returned. I used it and it mostly worked as described. I think in cases like this the standard for notability needs to tempered with a sense of public utility. In no way is the project proprietary, underground, half-baked, or marginal in its application to real world concerns. That ought to be enough. How many other articles here can make all the same claims? MaxEnt 00:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major rework

My effort to make this sound more encyclopedic amounted to placing TJ more precisely within the taxonomy of computer science, with more focus on conceptual approach rather than the feature set supported. It's far from perfect, and probably as much as (or a bit more than) I'm qualified to write based on my limited exposure. MaxEnt 23:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
