That is good news, I'm anxious to see how it turns out.

The way that TracGantt worked was ok with me, even though most people
would think it was simplistic and maybe clunky.  You added custom
fields in your ticket (template).  Then, ANY Trac report could be
viewed in terms of a Gantt.  It didn't invent much and tried to reuse
the existing system.

What it needed (or the one I hacked up needed) on the ticket:
  - estimated duration
  - a start time or a predecessor ticket

Using a start time or ticket number in the same field was hokey, but
was a nice shorthand.

This might inspire someone.
