Hey
I use GanttProject for several month now for managing a project.
I could use it as M$Project without any trouble.
I think it could be a "good deal" to reuse this project in Openoffice.
I think that a cooperation between the two teams will demonstrate the force of
the OpenSource development.
The features that I use are:
- Creating Project
- Following Project
- Export to M$Project for the Master Mind Project Manager
- Import form M$Project
- Import and Export GanttProject
- Printing in PDF and directly to Color Xerox Printer.
The feature that are missing or may be under development:
- Link with GanttProject projects instead of merging by importing projects:
In that case all the projects stay independent between us and the Hierarchical project, Master Project
and only the Master Project make link to the projects to generate and see a Global Gantt
this Master Project'll be able to expand all branch of a slave Project
- Costs Class in the DTD for Financial follow up
- Full Web integration: Means that the projects will be seen on a web interface
and modified into it without GanttProject on the station only on the server
I hope that you understood better what GanttProject done.
I think that it could be port on OpenOffice a 95% the 5% left are the GUI
interface
It could be possible for the Two Teams to work together if the 5% of the GanttProject GUI are extracted from the source code of the project
and we develop a common API to have the two products spreed together with the same 95% of common code of GanttProject.
Best regards,
Gilles

Subject: [oopm-dev] cooperation with GanttProject
Hello, all!
I think that there's quite a log of room for collaboration and
cooperations, however the ganttproject team seems well ahead of us at
this point. We are still trying to determine the scope of this project.
Yes, we may collaborate very differently. I see at least three ways:
1. If it it possible to integrate Java GUI application with OO framework
then we may just try to embed GanttProject into OO :). But we
(GanttProject team) know absolutely nothing about Java in OO and I
expect that embedding Java GUI is a difficult task
2. We may try to reuse our data models, file readers/writers, exporters
and all other things which don't require GUI. This task is easier then
first one because there should be no UI but again it depends on how do
OO and Java communicate.
3. We may develop a common format of project file and other artifacts. I
think it is still valuable for users.
These are my thoughts about collaboration, I will gratefully listen to
your opinions :)
Can you please elaborate a little bit about your next steps as a
project? What features are you working on, etc.?
We are working on two major features: support of calendars (at least,
recognoize holidays) and more fine granularity of tasks (at the moment
our tasks are measured by days only). We also plan to improve some
things related to file format (e.g. use ISO standard for date values,
support for different sets of predefined roles, etc.) And finally, we
started the development of new UI which features multiproject support
and looks much more nice than current one.
Best regards,
Dmitry
