Ganttproject

Whilst reviewing ganttproject for a company project management solution, one of the requirements was to allow clients and/or staff to view the status of the project whilst minimising the amount of work required to deliver this.

The method i came up with to implement this was to make a cifs shared folder on the companies intranet/website that project managers could save the ganttproject file to, as the ganttproject file is just an xml file.

I then used an xml stylesheet to convert the information into tables. Apart from saving the file in the set location, the only other thing required to deliver the status was to export the ganttchart as a jpg under the same location. 

Heres the files in web viewable format:

Ganttproject file
XSL file
ASP page

The end result

I only completed this task with the following sites help. Thank you.
