taskjuggler

Tags: org-mode

Open source project management tool:

• https://taskjuggler.org/index.html
• Documentation: https://taskjuggler.org/tj3/manual/index.html

Integrates with org mode via properties:

• https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.html
• https://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/taskjuggler/ox-taskjuggler.html

Mode: http://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/taskjuggler-mode Code:

• https://github.com/emacsmirror/org/blob/master/contrib/lisp/ox-taskjuggler.el

Issues:

• Parses the deadline from the org-deadline property, but uses :start: property to determine task start?
• Default project length is 280, this must be manually set at the top via the scheduled and deadline properties
