gantt chart similar overview of time for project planning

[Kevin Nagel]

hello,

I started using orgmode and love it. however one thing is missing,
which is a simple way of checking out the dates to see if there is
time to allocate for a task/project without interfering others and
also able to readjust it. the view would be sth like a gantt chart,
but simple colored boxes along the project/task header and the dates
would be sufficient. is that doable? is it a matter of adjusting the
column view? can i manipulate the dates in the column view too? i
think it is really crucial, as looking up in the calendar and
selecting dates without colliding with other scheduled dates is not
clear.

thanx for reply in advance.

Hi Kevin,

to be honest, I have read your email now 3 times, and I find it vage
and unclear.  If you are asking other people for answers, or if you are
asking free software authors for additional coding and features,
please start by spending the time to carefully think about your
questions and wishes, and to write them down as clearly as possible.

In this way we can make sure that everyone, not just you,
uses his/her time efficiently.
