I have to organize a very large project that includes video, meetings, and teleconferences. I need the project to be available on a PC as well as a Mac. I was thinking of using some sort of excel spread sheet as a start. Any one have any thoughts.

There is a Microsoft application called 'Project' that is designed for this - I don't know much about it but it's web based so it should cover the cross platform aspect.

I hate recommending MS products but apparently this is a pretty good application.

If you don't like the idea of an MS solution, there's another web based product called Basecamp.

Ruby on rails, I believe.

Project is so convoluted and not very intuitive. Basecamp looks better. Thanks.

Someone I work with uses a great program for his projects called MindManager. It is the most elegant project management program I have seen, and is fully integrated with MS Office products. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a Mac version.
