In the last releases of GanttProject (starting from GP 2.0.7) Polish translation was broken . Choosing "Polski" in the language settings didn't work and even manual editing of the options file didn't help. The reason was one missing character in the translation file.
The fix was submitted to our SVN repository on Google Code Hosting and will be included into GP 2.0.10. If you don't want to wait until 2.0.10, just open
$GP_HOME/plugins/net.sourceforge.ganttproject_2.0.0/data/resources/language/i18n_pl.properties
in any text editor ($GP_HOME is a directory where GanttProject is installed on your machine), find
refresh=Od\u015bwie\u017
and append 'c' at the end of that line, so that it becomes
refresh=Od\u015bwie\u017c

Kostenfreier E-Workshop "GanttProject"
Knut Harms informed me about the electronic materials for learning GanttProject which are available in German here:

Materials are free for personal use. I don't speak German but Google Translate did a good job and translated this page.
PDF file is available on this link:

GanttProject.biz: now with Google App Engine!
48 years ago Soviet engineers launched Vostok-1 spacecraft which carried Yury Gagarin onboard and was powered by six liquid-fueled engines. Gagarin's flight was just 108 minutes long, but it made the Universe closer to the millions of people.
Since that time many Soviet and now Russian people celebrate Cosmonautics Day. I admit that it is one of my favorite holidays. This April I celebrate it with launching an updated GanttProject.biz, which now is also powered by an engine. Google App Engine.
Its uptime now is about 20 hours and it is feeling good. I hope that this launch will eventually make the universe of information closer to hundreds of GanttProject users. Stay tuned!

GanttProject FAQ
How to change week numbering?
GanttProject uses calendar settings corresponding to the chosen interface language. Switching interface language to e.g. French will start Week 1 in 2016 on Jan 4. If you're using English interface language then you can choose between English US (it is just "English" in GanttProject settings) and start Week 1 on December 28 (correct for US) and English (United Kingdom) which follows European standards.
Where can I find a user guide or manual?
We have no user guides or manuals, sorry. Instead, we can offer you an application which is so easy to use that needs no manuals, provided that you don't need guidance in project scheduling per se. If you still need to see how to do the basic actions, consider watching this awesome video tutorial. Some of the tricky bits and rough corners are documented at http://docs.ganttproject.biz
Is it possible to use hours as task duration?
No.
Can GanttProject do resource leveling?
No.
I can't change the dates of my tasks!
Usually it means that either there is a dependency between your tasks and GanttProject is just doing its job and is trying to make your constraints happy. Please read the article "GanttProject Scheduler Explained" which may help you to understand what exactly forbids dates change.
If you don't find the answer in the article and believe that there is nothing in your data which prevents tasks from being moved, please submit a new ticket to the issue tracker, supply a reproducible scenario and attach an example project file.

GanttProject in Linux Format#116
Linux Format published a review of five project planning applications for Linux in its March issue. The review includes GanttProject, OpenProj, TaskJuggler, KPlato and Planner. It is not very deep, but well written. The author even composed his own text instead of copying phrases and images from our website. Respect :)

Bad news and good news.
It is very sad to write it but I have to do it anyway.
Bad news are that because of a failure on MySQL server in our hosting provider's datacenter GanttHive data were lost. They didn't have any monitoring or it didn't work, anyway the problem was detected more than 15 days after the failure. They keep backups only for 15 days, consequently, they had no data backups by the time when I detected the failure. I trusted them too much and didn't backup data on my own. As a result, GanttHive data is lost forever and can't be recovered :( Both me and the hosting provider are responsible for this incident. You know who I am, let me publish the provider's name: it is PeterHost, Russian hoster based in Saint-Petersburg. Think carefully if you decide to host your data there.
Well, good news are that we didn't have too sensible data in our database, and GanttHive itself was not very useful. I am working hard on a new GanttProject web site which, as I hope, will become much more valuable for our users. And of course it will be hosted on a more reliable hosting.
