Hi Julia,

sorry for the more-than-late reply.

The Elisp part for Eric's Gantt generation tool is bit burried in
the mailing list.  gantt.sty is in Worg[1], but the whole thing 
deserves a better treat... glad you improved it.

Nice -- thanks for taking this piece of code further.

Would you help enhancing and packaging it in a more usable way?
What we need is this:

1. an Elisp file with the code, with explanations and comments pointing
   to the gantt.sty code

2. a tutorial on Worg

3. maybe a helper function to easily create a ready-for-gantt.sty table
   (basically with all the columns)

Just some ideas (with no dependancies from one to another...)
If you want write access to Worg, just send me your public key.

Thanks!
