Hello,

I reworked on my code. You can find it = here : https://pypi.= python.org/pypi/python-gantt/

or with pip ::

=C2=A0 pip i= nstall python-gantt


Enclosed, there is two parts :

- pyth= on-gantt : this library is used to draw gantt svg charts from python
- o= rg2gantt : used to transform org-mode files to python-gantt ones

You can see outputs here :

=C2=A0- http://xael.org/norman/python/python-gan= tt/project.png
=C2=A0- http://xael.org/norman/python/python-gantt/= project_resources.png
=C2=A0
Installation=
------------

To install python-gantt, just issue :

=C2=A0= python setup.py install

It requires :
- svgwrite
- clize
<= br>Usage
-----

For using org2gantt, see h= elp :

=C2=A0 python org2gantt/org2gantt.py -h


Basic usage= is :

=C2=A0 python org2gantt/org2gantt.py org2gantt/example.org

It should generate two charts : one = for tasks and one for resources assignment.


Syn= tax for org-mode
-------------------

See org2gantt/example.org and org2gantt/README.org for detail= ed explanations.
Basically, you need to define :
- resources : in a s= pecial section "RESOURCES"
- and projects containing tasks.
Timeframe of tasks is defined by <SCHEDULE> (beginning) and <= DEADLINE> (end).
Some properties are used for :
- duration of the = task
- define some task's blockers
- resources used
- and some= other things

Syntax is mostly compatible with org-taskjuggler when = you have renamed RESOURCES
section.

In addition, resources can al= so be defined as tags. I think it's better than the
org-taskjuggler = property method as you can use them directly in org-mode !


My work flow
-------------------

I work for a = big company with two missions :
- sysadmin (os + apps) on a 300+ server = park,
- do some integration and qualification on applications,
- dep= loy those applications on our servers.

I am managing 15 persons in t= wo teams. One do daily sysadmin and the other one
do the IQ and deployme= nt part.

For the sysadmin part, it's quite straightaway : daily = repetitive tasks, and little
scheduling (server installation, patch, upd= ates=E2=80=A6)

For the IQ / deployment team, the dates of operations= are not defined by me but
others (devs for the delivery and clients for= production interruption).

Scheduling is done with a long term view = (6 months - 1 year)=E2=80=A6 but evolve
as dev are usually in hurry at f= irst and in late at the end.

For this, I need to check resources all= ocation in order to be able to do the
work. I used ganttproject for this= . But it is not really user friendly and lack
good outputs I can share w= ith others.

org2gantt allows me to do some nice pictures for big man= agers. And with
org-mode, it helps me to easily keep track of tasks (not= es, documents,
milestones) and who is assigned to what.
Org-mode is a= lso really usefull keep the someday/maybe notes.


Regards,
Alexandre

Unfortunately, no.

I must say I = like your output better, rather than opening another tool. But maybe there = is a way to at least use the same properties to make it useful to more user= s ?

After a quick look, = there are good design ideas to take=E2=80=A6
I think I will do th= e switch !!!

Thanks !
