This is all exciting stuff. 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.
Thanks
