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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
