Over the years, individuals and organizations have submitted extensions and/or templates that ostensibly enable one to manage projects, using OOo, and then LibO or AOO. After I wrote that email yesterday, I went browsing the LibO and AOo extension sites, and only two extensions popped up under a search for "project management". DatabaseRangeManager, and AuthorSupportTools. * DatabaseRangeManager, when correctly configured, ensures that sane values are inserted into spreadsheets. (I didn't test this extension out.) * AuthorSupportTools looks like a fork/updated version of Writer Tools, and Writer Extras. In both LibO 4.3.2 & LibO 5.0 beta, it crashed on me, with an unsupported Java call. It wouldn't install in EuroOffice 2014. At Libreoffice Templates, there is a Gantt Chart Template, and a Project Manager Database. * I used The Gantt Chart Template for a project a while ago, and it works fairly well, provided one has a list of required resources, and all the other data it requires, before creating the chart. (This is a major issue with Gantt Charts.) * I just briefly looked at the Project Manager Database, and it looks promising. However, I haven't tried it out, so looks may be not be accurate. There are ten templates at Apache OpenOffice Templates that purport to be for project management. The ones I looked were straight conversions from Excel. At least one required whatever scripting language Excel uses, to be available. Something I didn't find, that I thought I'd seen, but on reflection probably only saw the spec sheet/wishlist of, was an extension that kept the data in BASE, used Calc for data input/output, exported dates/schedule to IC and Lightning, and sent reminder/status report emails via Thunderbird. jonathon * English - detected * English * English <javascript:void(0);> <#> -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
