I'm looking for a Gantt chart for Trac and I haven't identified one that is 
current and robust (though at this point I'm relying on documentation).

The Gantt plugin (http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GanttPlugin) seems dated.  There's 
a patch that makes it work in 0.11 but I read a comment that said there are 
several extra Gantt-specific fields that make it awkward to use and maintain.  
The README says:

   The first things to add are the new ticket fields. If you already have 
   a ticket-custom section, append these to it:

        [ticket-custom]
   ...
        dependencies = text
        dependencies.label = Dependencies
        dependencies.value =
   ...

   This will add four new fields to tickets, ... a "Dependencies" 
   field, for listing ticket numbers upon which this ticket 
   depends,

But we already use MasterTicketsPlugin which adds blocking and blockedby to 
indicate dependencies.  It'd be nice if GanttPlugin had a dependencies.field 
field to set to the "blockedby" so we could use both plugins together.


I looked at FlashGanttPlugin but it seems to require even more fields and the 
description on the Trac-Hacks page for it makes it sound like the developers 
aren't sure where they are going or where they'll get there.  (Maybe that's too 
harsh.)


Does anyone else find it kind of amazing that a plugin that's supposed to 
create a chart doesn't have a sample chart in the documentation?  I'd really 
like to see what these plugins produce.


All of that said, can someone on the list recommend a Gantt chart plugin or 
comment on their experience with either of these?  Thanks.

                                                Chris
