That post says taht “Premature Gannting” is the act of making a “huge Gantt chart (often in MS Project).”
Gannting like a Hacker is doing this in a scripted environment, without relying on closed-source proprietry software such as the Windoze options.
The community of bloggers (mostly geeks) who are following a style of blogging that originated with the invention of Jekyll, unveiled in this post by Tom Preston-Werner; GitHub’s co-founder (aka mojombo).
This experiment uses Taskjuggler and Emacs Orgmode
Materials and Methods
Use Ubuntu 12.04 Long Term Support (LTS)
with Ruby
Code:install task juggler
gem install taskjuggler
Gantt charts with Emacs Orgmode
I’m using an Emacs tool to use TaskJuggler to handle the task scheduling and creation of Gantt chart suitable for a Pointy-haired Boss.
I hated using the Orgmode script to compile the parts of the Gantt chart so I wrote this R script to convert a spreadsheet into an Orgmode script
the spreadsheet is organised in a fairly simple way shown below.
Results
and executing my script will convert this into a Emacs orgmode file that will export to a taskjuggler file (use C-c C-e j) and viola!
Conclusions
This simplifies the Orgmode taskjuggler creation
A drawback is that it has to go through the Emacs export function.
