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!
