To be more precise in this point. Trac Gantt may be considered a potential example of MVC architecture. In other words : - Model : Tickets, resources, and othe PM-spec «artifacts», part of Estimation, and deps - View : TracGantt, but nothing (little ;) beyond UI - Controller: Parts of Estimation, deps ... If we have interfaces to put all this together and be able to change all layers at any time then we have a flexible design, and a useful and manage-able set of components which can be devd ... -- Regards, Olemis.
