Reposting Elgantt announcement

Reposting Elgantt announcement

[Russell Adams]

All,

I saw a cool Org related project come up on Reddit, but no announcement
here. This is a repost for community interest, I claim no credit.

This addon does interactive Gantt charts from Org files. Kudos to
"legalnonsense" for a neat way to visualize Org data!

Thanks for reposting. I am the author. If anyone wants to help get 
this into shape to go on MELPA that would be great. I am a bit 
burned out on the project at the moment. Coding is is a hobby and 
there are a lot of gaps in my knowledge with regard to getting it 
cleaned up and finalized. Otherwise, I hope it works for anyone 
who tries it!

For a hobby effort it's quite impressive! I hope you find others that want to
help it progress. Gantt charts have been a long standing request regarding Org
data.

This looks very impressive and, as Russell says, there is a fair bit of
potential demand for a good org based GANTT chart tool.  I don't have
time to have a serious look at it right now (preparing for teaching in a
COVID-19 world...) but will do so when I can.

A quick question, however.  My projects tend to be multi-year.  Does the
graphical presentation provide optional control of the date information
along the top?  We often use each year as a major divider with Q1..Q4
subdivisions for quarterly views of multi-year projects.  Even just
years with month labels (JFMA...D) would be good enough but full
month/day breakdowns as you currently have in the demo would be
unwieldy/ugly.

Thank you,
eric

Not currently an option but would not be hard to implement. Some 
of the code relies on the months to be displayed but they could be 
hidden in a text property somewhere. The vertical lines between 
months are important though, so there’s no way to get rid of 
those. 

Adding an option to hide the number line for the dates should not 
be difficult. 

If you gave me an idea of what you want it to look like I could 
figure out a way to make the top lines customizable in a way that 
could accommodate it.
