Eric (Fraga) (and whoever else),


I was just revisiting this as I'd like to get a bit better about
longer-ish term planning of projects (I have a horrid habit of
procrastination and not taking bite-sized chunks at a time along the
way). I looked into taskjuggler again, but I can't figure out what the
status is on tj3 and org-mode. I see some dead-end conversations but
nothing that seems for sure implemented and I'm not a big fan of tj2.

In any case, it looks like *just* after this discussion, something a
bit more formal came about for gantt charts and TikZ. I thought you
and others might be interested in it:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gantt-tikz

It looks like a summary/walkthrough of this package:
http://www.martin-kumm.de/tex_gantt_package.php

It looks quite reasonable and seems to be as advanced as I'd need for
the moment -- just something to track progress and map action paths
through a project. Anyway, let me know what you think and if you think
org-mode could be adapted to export via that or pull together the
necessary info to generate such a chart based on tags or properties. I
haven't done much with that.


Let me know your thoughts!
John
