+      Planner is the GNOME project management tool.
+      Its goal is to be an easy-to-use no-nonsense cross-platform
+      project management application.

+      Planner is a GTK+ application written in C and licensed under the
+      GPLv2 or any later version. It can store its data in either xml
+      files or in a postgresql database. Projects can also be printed
+      to PDF or exported to HTML for easy viewing from any web browser.
