A few people have recommended Tasks in this Best To-Do List Software thread on Slashdot.

For those of you who are coming here to learn about Tasks, here is the cliff-notes version:

Tasks is a hierarchical, web-based task (or to-do list) manager. It runs on either Apache or IIS with PHP and MySQL*. It’s designed to be fast and eacy to use, utilizing JavaScript to create a fast, rich web-based interface. There are currently three flavors of Tasks:

1. Tasks 1.8.6 (single-user, free)
2. Tasks 2.0 (single-user, $29.95)
3. Tasks Pro™ (multi-user, $125-$500)

Tasks 2.0 and Tasks Pro™ are based on the same 2nd generation codeline which is a major rewrite from the 1.x codeline.

All versions of Tasks are internationalized and localization ready, cross-browser compatible and designed with the user in mind. Take a look at the Feature Comparison Chart for more detailed information.
