All,
Agreed that the product is very different from MS Project, however, I see
a) a way to address this shortcoming,
b) benefits to the new package.
Way to adress the MS Project Different:
Provide a more spreadsheet like interface that the recommended Cheetah
python links can pull from (think one for resources, one for tasks, etc.).
Benefits to the new package:
a) Easier constraint representation - I think MS Project actually hides
constraints (hidden in tabbed dialog boxes). Faces I find exposes them better.
Faces / TaskJuggler's XML files are pretty human readable.
b) Easier ERP Updates - XML files built / pulled through Cheetah.
c) Its open source
e) New optimization functions are also easier to build than in MS Project
Cheers,
--Malcolm.
