Gantt Diagram

Hi, we are two UPF students (Barcelona, Spain) interested in developing a Gantt Diagram for the moodle timetable, where you could see the deadline of the activities and change it in a interactive way (maybe with AJAX).

We made a search in the forums and there where some topics talking about Gantt Diagram, specially this: task/bug tracker so we think we've arrived late, only making it with AJAX would be the  unique improvement. Should we consider it a new feature or integrate it into "task/bug tracker"?

I've thought in making something similar.
The idea is making a module that allows you to see all the tasks in the course, with this you would be able to see when they start and finish
Changing it dinamically would be great too

Here you have a little diagram

The task/bug tracker uses jpgraph for the backend... it has some issues for licensing. It is free for non-commercial or educational use but requires a separate license for commercial use. I believe that this makes it incompatible with the GPL. 

Additionally the gantt chart only works for that custom module if you have jpgraph installed. Also since jpgraph renders a static image I'm not sure how you would use AJAX with this setup.

regards,
Jeff

Maybe we could use something different, something that could fit AJAX and with a GPL license. Does it exists?
