    560 == Component Data ==
    561 
    562 Each Gantt chart component or feature requires data to support it.  For Trac-based project management, this data is often in addition to the core ticket data. 
    563 
    564 In general, we might expect to have multiple resources assigned to a task but if we use a Trac ticket as the basis for a task, we have only a single resource, the ticket owner.
    565 
    566 === Core Fields ===
    567 
    568 Core ticket fields include relevant to project management include:
    569 
    570  * owner (who is working on it)
    571  * milestone (what milestone this ticket is part of)
    572  * status (new, assigned, ..., closed)
    573  * summary (short description)
    574 
    575 Core milestone fields relevant to project management include:
    576 
    577  * name
    578  * due (date and time)
    579  * completed (treated as a Boolean: open or closed)
    580 
    581 === Additional Data ===
    582 
    583 For project management, we must have the following additional information about a task/ticket:
    584 
    585  * estimate (expected work required to complete task)
    586  * percent complete
    587  * dependencies
    588  * percent effort
    589 
    590 == What do we need in the user interface ? ==
    591 
    592 A "chart these" button on a report page would be very nice.
    593 
    594 It would be nice to be able to create task dependencies graphically using the Gantt chart as a GUI or to change a milestone date by dragging it along the chart.
    595 
    596 == Reader Feed Back ==

     556== Suggestion(s) by Jay Walsh ==
    599557 
    600558While I like the idea of where you are going with this.  The concepts and "design" section have taken a turn towards specific implementations.  I would suggest a combination of making these ideas configurable, as well as extending various classes and providers to be extensible/replaceable.

    608566It almost seems like any custom or default field added to this concept should be able to specify it's very own provider, optionally.
