The user interface to opensched is your favourite editor. Admittedly it shows my age that the file format is not XML. If you want a project planning tool that is strongly based on a GUI then look at http://mrproject.codefactory.se/.
The original version of Opensched was developed by Idan Shoham <idan@psynch.com> and distributed via M-Tech. Subsequent development was taken over by Alan McIvor and distributed via SourceForge.
