I just started using XPWeb a few days ago and I have one question:
Wouldn't it reflect the completion of a story better, if the task completions where weighed in the average?
The current case is this: a story has three tasks, one of one hour ("create DB-Table"), and the other two have about 10 hours each. I just finished the one hour task, and now the story completion reads at 33%, even though I have only finished under 5% of estimated task weight. Get the picture?
If you agree that weighed averages would be better, I'll just make the change and send you the patch.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think you make a good point here. I'm interested in the patch.
Now, it's always delicate to make such a change, so the way I usually do it is: make it configurable in the Config file and inactivate it by default...
It's been a very long time since anybody else than me participates to the code. I'd be very glad to receive your patch. Please send it to x_p_web at hotmail dot com and I'll integrate it in next release!

Okay, I posted the patch in the patch-tracker (duh...). Let me know what you think...
ATM I hardcoded the change into the Planning Models, but I'll make time tomorrow to make it configurable and then send you the changes.
