Hello,
I'm currently creatin SVG resources reports. I use some Ruby to parse the XML generated by TJ and it's quite powerful. However, making *nice* resource report is a tough problem for example, especially if you think that it has to be printed in black and white.
If you're interested, I can share my code. Please note that it's not made to be public, so reading it might be a little of a challenge. Right now, it draws tasks per person, on a horizontal timeline. The accuracy is 1 day, it doesn't represent parallel tasks with irregular repartition of time (or it does, but it's not very reliable) (if you want to implement that, go ahead, but that's tricky)
As a side note, using SVG for output has quite some advantage. For example, you can rescale/posterize very easily and, which is more, it's very compact (vectorial...). Moreover, producing SVG is really easy. Another really cool side effect is that once my task are on a SVG file, I take it to my planning meeting and open it with Inkscape. Inkscape then allows to me to shuffle/redraw some tasks in realtime. It's very adapted to collaboritevly updating the planning. Once the planning is updated, I rewrite the TJ file accordingly and voila. Really powerfull (I'm just waiting for the TJ GUI to take that over, but in the meantime, that's how we do it :))
