[emacs-berlin] org-mode as interface to taskjuggler

[Sebastian Dümcke]

Dear Mailinglist,

thank you for listening to my presentation yesterday during the monthly 
hybrid berlin meetup. Please find attached the org file of the toy 
project plan I had presented as well as the expected output. The 
following configuration is required to run the example:

(require 'ox-taskjuggler)
(setq org-taskjuggler-default-global-properties"include \"globals.tji\"")
(setq org-taskjuggler-default-reports '("include \"reports.tji\""))
(setq org-taskjuggler-valid-resource-attributes '(limits vacation email shift booking efficiency journalentry rate chargeset workinghours flags))

You can find the taskjuggler project and its documentation here: 
https://taskjuggler.org and https://taskjuggler.org/tj3/manual/index.html

I have written a blog post about it for those that missed the 
presentation. You can read it here: 
http://sam-d.com/blog/org-mode-as-an-interface-to-taskjuggler/

If you have trouble getting it to run I will be happy to help.

Best

Sebastian
