Hi David, I've finally gotten back to the project - you can see my first sample here: http://www.office-xml.com/TCAdmin/TCProcessTips/NewTCFormation.html http://www.office-xml.com/TCAdmin/TCProcessTips/NewTCFormation.xml (datafile)
Thanks for adding the generic days/weeks/quarters! This is great. I hope that the members find the timelines to be useful visual references. A couple of questions: When both a range and a single day start on the day, the range appears above the singleton. I'd like to flip them (for instance, submit charter should come prior to review charter). They're in the proper sequence in the xml file. In all but one span, the text appears in the span itself. For some reason, the text "conference call" appears next to the span, rather than within it. Wish list items: It would be cool if someone could enter a start date and then have the timeline automatically calculate actual dates. There are some dependencies - for instance, if the first meeting is a face-to-face, it must be no sooner than 45 days after the call for participation is announced; but if it's a teleconference, it can be 30 days. The call for nominations goes out 15 days before the first meeting ... not sure if there's a way that could actually be added to the scripting.
