A Domino based solution would be very welcome. Do you know by any chance such a solution that comes near Projects?

Open Source ? Freeware ? No, no idea.

Hi,
Domino based, but not open source (and with a different feature set than the typical MS Project clone): Mindplan (see http://www.mindplan.biz).
It is a Java based mindmapping software, which stores all nodes in Lotus Notes documents AND is capable of summing up efforts AND provides Gantt charts AND will have resource histograms AND will be integrated in the Notes 8 client in the next version.
Highly recommended, and priced moderately.
(No, I’m not the author of this tool, just a partner –> if you download the (free!) test version you might want to select “SP Integration” as the referring partner, which would earn us fame and glory points
).

Mindplan is a good choice ( and affordable ). We have evaluated this tool a while ago, but someone decided to do the whole project management in SAP …

Great find! I am certainly going to try this one out. But I agree with Patrick…would very much like a Domino-based project planning tool.
