I have once again given some thought to how we can realise this project. However, I realised that (in my opinion) we can’t start at all, because a Gantt view usually has a start and end date, whereas a deck card only has an end date. That means we should first make a PR where we can use the start date and end date for the views.
hi everyone, especially @biguenique and thanks to all of you for bringing energy, ideas and a fresh wind into this long on going topic
sorry for being absent, happy private life circumstances kept me
do we want to discuss everything here in this forum thread, or do we want to have separate discussion channel (I would prefer a signal group) to prepare the details and just post the decisions we came up with and discuss them with everyone?
You can have private conversations in this forum as well. Just send a PM message to a person and invite all other needed persons and you have a private topic.
Danke! - yes we are aware of it, as it was a demo which was used for the project in my initial post in this thread
But I have added your link to my post.
But nice that you are here, stay tuned for what is to come and check back from time to time
Hi Walter,
I am also very interested in having a gantt view for deck. I would like to contribute some ideas, testing activities, or documentation etc. Please add me your discussion round
Hey thanks @nihe and @derWalter for coming back on this. @derWalter I’m glad you’ve been facing some happy circumstances!
I’m sorry I had to push this project down the priority list for such an extended period of time. Time flies so fast!
This thread continues to (very) slowly gather some interest for Gantt Charts for Deck. According to the little poll I made earlier on this thread, we could raise at least… 140$ for a dev…
Perhaps having an actual fundraising could drive some attention to the project. So my offer to create an Open Collective project under my fiscal host still stands. I just need to know if everyone is OK with holding the funds in canadian dollars ($CAD). That could be easily done. Otherwise, I would need to set up an alternate fiscal host in $USD (that’s a limitation of Open Collective). Or we could find another host. Or use another fundraising platform.
As for the administration of the bounty, my guess is to separate the bounty party (us) from the dev party. All we would need to determine are the minimal conditions to be met for the bounty to be transferred to the dev(s). Perhaps we could break this into milestones, with specific goals and allowance for each milestone. We could revise our expectations from time to time, along with the devs and using feedback from the community (let’s think Agile!). Being 3 administrators would also allow breaking ties by vote in case unexpected decisions have to be made. And also to be determined early on is what happens with the funds if nobody reaches these conditions after a certain time.
I’m OK discussing these conditions with the community, but having a backchannel for the administrators for technical stuff might be a good thing too. I’m quite OK with using group PM for that, as @rakekniven suggested.
yes, lets open up to the public as much as possible.
maybe it could also be a way to gather more attention, to choose a platform with a lot of traffic by itself, so unaware people stumble upon this initiative by accident and like it - I guess, dreaming is allowed
regarding currency: i think € would be the best, as people using NC are based mainly in Europe and maybe the US, if not by far: Germany (as it is quite popular at schools and universities here).
I assume converting from € to $CAD and back again would just burn money.
Everything else you proposed I find great and have nothing to add to it.
Also, who had any experience or is currently using any existing Gantt tool ? (There are quite a few out there.)
Which features do you most appreciate, what are the worst limitations?
And why not tell us a little more on how you think a Gantt Charts app for Nextcloud Deck would make your life better?
I tried GanttProject, but stopped using it, as I have all my tasks already in NC Tasks, which I can sync with opentask. I didn’t want to manually recreate everything and no one else can join in to see or change the charts.
For me its mandatory to have multible users who are being able to access and edit the tasks from a phone and desktop machine.
So updating “Nextcloud Deck” for mobile would be mandatory.
