Jade,

I will upload the package I'm working on as soon as I have something working.  Its just a simple package that allows a user to create a project and subsequent subprojects, and display the resulting project breakdown structure in a table.  The aim behind this package is to demonstrate the datamodel, nothing more.

Cheers,
Nick.

I know that it was ditched a kzillion times, but is aD project-tracker really such a pile of manure that nothing could be re-used?

Just a €0.02...

The aD Project Tracker package? Actually, I don't remember ever hearing any evaluations of it at all, either good or bad. Anyone have links to any old threads about it? Oh wait, here are a couple posts I found in search, and they and their threads do seem fairly negative about project-tracker: Dec. 2001, May 2002

For one thing it relies on old acs-workflow to do the job.  With acs-workflow out of OACS, porting it a lot less feasible.

Like I said, it does not do much, really.  It has (had) a general "vision" of becoming an MS Project-like thing, that never came to life.
