Quick Post: Gannt Charts?

So, amidst all of the confusion surrounding the new UI implementation (more on that later), I couldn’t help but notice this image that CD Support Manager Kraig posted in the User Forum: One of the most requested features on the forums has been Gannt Charting abilities. It’s been on the Mythical Feature Request List (along with bulk editing of databases and robust user permissions) for as long as I’ve been a user. Does this screenshot of a milestone indicate the possibility of Gannt Charts coming?

Update: Kraig Commented, and I’m elevating this up to the main body of the post:

Actually I have been working on a flash gantt chart which hooks into a workspace/company account using our API. http://64.79.198.189/~kraig/gchart.php It’s still a work in progress. Here’s how it works: – Task lists and milestones are identified on the chart in parentheses. – The Task List start date is the earliest due date on the task list. The end date is the last due date in the task list. – The percent complete is (number of tasks completed / number of tasks)*100 This is actually live — it’s looking in one of my workspaces. Post comments if you’re interested and I’ll try to answer or show you how to set this up. As I have time, that is. We’re up to our necks with questions about Central Desktop 2.0!

It looks like you’ll be able to view this on a Workspace by workspace basis, probably as an embedded flash element or workspace application block. The real question is “Will it work with Internet Explorer 6?” Or AOL’s dial up browser even?
Couldn’t resist.

But do leave a comment or question for Kraig on his Gantt Chart project.
