I am enrolled in a course that teaches methods of project administration 
and I'm using org for my personal notes. One of the set tasks for the 
project scenario is to produce a Gantt chart.

It can be simply a spreadsheet or something from a program like planner 
or msproject. I vaguely remember a thread a fair while ago about a 
exporter to taskjuggler format and I was wondering if that had gone any 
further than thought? Or perhaps someone knows another way to get a Gantt 
chart out of org-mode data.

Any suggestions that don't require too much scripting would be 
appreciated. I'm just trying to get out of reentering all the work I've 
done in org into planner or ooo-calc.

  I'm using a very hackish "works-for-me" python script that converts a
  tsv export from an org-mode file to a taskjuggler file. Probably has
  lots of implizit assumptions which not even I remember.
  
  The basic work-flow is to create your hierarchy of tasks, add some effort
  estimates and some other properties, export this to a csv and run the
  attached python script on it. This will generate a taskjuggler include
  file (tji) which can be used in a main taskjuggler file (tjp).
  
  You could use the following Makefile snippet to automate the process:
  
  projectPlan.csv: projectPlan.org
  	$(EMACS) -batch \
  		 -eval "(progn (find-file \"$<\") (re-search-forward \"^| Task\") (org-table-export \"$@\"))" -kill
  
  projectPlan.tji: projectPlan.csv
  	$(CSV2TASKJUGGLER) < $< > $@
  
  projectPlan.taskreport.html: projectPlan.tjp projectPlan.tji
  	$(TASKJUGGLER) $<
  
  Attached is the python script, an example org file and an example for a
  tjp file. Let me know if this works for you. 
  
  I meant to write a tutorial about this but you know how it is. Maybe you
  could write one as you get this to work :-)
  
  Hope this helps
  Christian

    Oh very interesting. I know it will take me a while but I will look at
