Hi Pascal,
I would like to propose an idea which could maybe be turned into GSoC
project. In a collaboration project we will probably use owncloud. But
one piece is still missing. We need a way to display/generate GANTT
charts and doing thant in owncloud would be the most natural thing.
In short: A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart, developed by Henry
Gantt, that illustrates a project schedule [1].
There is a free GANTT chart tool based on Javascript, CSS and HTML which
could provide a startig point [2] for an owncloud app.
Sure, that would be a great addition.
Where does the input for the GANTT diagrams come from? I don't think it
makes so much sense to just display them without helping to generate
them. How are you planning to do that?
To start with I think a simple text file would be ok. That could be
edited with the built in text editor of ownclowd. jsGantt has an option
to use an xml file. Later on a spezific built in editor would be great.
Ok.
For example there is the project "Taskjuggler" [4]. Its based on text
files specifying tasks, resources and much more. ownCloud integration
could look like this: Whenever you update a taskjuggler file on the
ownCloud, in the background the taskjuggler task is started to schedule
everything and the result of that is shown in ownCloud. Nice app :-)
That looks interessting as well! But it's Ruby based. Would that work
with owncloud? My hosting provider dows not support Ruby in a standard
environment.
Well, Taskjuggler comes as a console app (written in ruby) that takes an
input file and creates some output. That can be integrated in a
specialized ownCloud app very well, but thats certainly not for the main
ownCloud release :-)

Klaas
