Definitely some form of GPL, but I don't really know the difference
between GPL and LGPL. I presume there's something in the GPL that prevents
proprietry plugins (even though they're not altering the original code)?

I was starting to wonder what had happened to people here ;-)

I think we need some more detailed use cases. Not necessarily for right
now - we can make a start on some rough header files and the like (moving
on from pure discussion) but I think we need a couple of formal, detailed,
use cases from two or three people that use project management software in
different ways. 

Hopefully I can get more involved in this than I have been so far, but I'm
going away for a couple of weeks now (email having only started working
again a couple of days ago).

Just IM(very)HO,
