[Tiki-devel] Resource or Project management with "FullCalendar-resourceviews"

[Xavier de P. <xav...@vh...>]

Hi all:

One of the first level goals during the next TikiFest in Barcelona 
(August  20-26th, 2012 ) will be to ease the task of resource (or 
project) management in Tiki in a visual way by means of Trackers and 
Calendars.

A basic proof-of-concept (not much visual management but working at 
least) is the display of Tracker Data in a mini-calendar, as seen 
already in
http://tiki.org/TikiFestBarcelona3#Schedule

However, we need some easier way to manage data, move tasks from one day 
to another (all those of you who have been in a TikiFest know how this 
works, don't you ;-): there is lots of re-scheduling, and re-scheduling 
over and over again during the week.
This resembles very well real uses cases for project mangement, or 
resource bookings, etc.

I have recently identified a potential "low-hanging-fruit" 
tiki-compatible app that might help managing resources (or subtasks in 
project management) in a calendar view and friendly drag-and-drop way: 
*fullcalendar-resourceviews*

This is a parallel development to FullCalendar lib (yes, the same one we 
already have in Tiki, MIT licensed, etc) in which a view for resource 
management is added.

See:
http://tux.fi/~jarnok/fullcalendar-resourceviews/

Where it says "Resource1, Resource 2, etc", you can see also "Project 1, 
Project 2...", and add events as subtasks related to that project. And 
the idea is to use Tracker data for the resource events, or tasks, etc.

*Does any one know any better approach than working in the direction to 
integrate fullcalendar-resourceviews in Tiki, to allow resource and 
project management ?*


Thanks!
