It's a little hard to digest (many changes rolled into one, white space formatting changes that make it hard to find the real change, common lisp idioms which I'm not familiar with). Let me get back to you with some questions and then we can discuss how to most easily merge the stuff. - Why did you compute the leafiness? I seem to have experienced that tj3 has a problem with zero effort tasks that aren't marked as milestones. Is that the reason? - Why do you add a duration of 1d if the task has neither a duration, an end, a period nor an effort? Shouldn't that be a milestone instead? - I see that there is a need to annotate a project with stuff such as scenarios, etc and I was missing a way to have file specific reports or other globals. Your additional tags solve that problem. However I'm a bit reluctant to add more magic tags that mark the trees in some way. I was hoping to find a more general way for this problem. So far I haven't found a good solution though. - I like the idea of the TJ drawer, but in the end you just seem to use it for the project node and the globals node. So in essence they are taskjuggler source code blocks (in disguise) which are tied to a particular node. In fact they are not even really tied to a particular node, especially in the case of the globals. This goes back to the previous question about a good way to add file specific globals. Maybe some kind taskjuggler specific export option is really what we are looking for. As an aside, I think it's better to post the source code to the list. There might be other people interested in it and pitching in with opinions and improvements.
