Any news here?
I started my search here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8757
and as reported on brainstorm, this kind of request are bug with needs-packaging tag, so after a while I've found this bug report.

Just a few considerations:
* It's a good program that give to users a functional and stable alternative and replacement to analogous proprietary software used on other OS (see bug #1).
* The license of OpenProj is CPAL 1.0 (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpal_1.0) a license approved by the OSI.
* On the OpenProj site (http://openproj.org/openproj) there is a clear indication of their support for GNU/Linux OS and they have also a DEB package.
* Furthermore the main screenshot is of OpenProj running under Ubuntu and, as cited above in this bug report, there is also a quote of Mark Shuttleworth.

So it's strange that this isn't yet in Ubuntu repository.
