Hi.
I faintly remember someone mentioned Gantt diagrams/charts here so here
it is:

I'm getting close to releasing JSWikiGantt extension and I'm wondering
if this should go to SVN or not? And in effect should I ask for commit
access to SVN or not. I have my own server so I can put my code there,
but I'm not sure what are the habits with extensions.
