Taskjuggler

Taskjuggler is a project management tool for creating Gantt charts and project task summaries, using plain text files as input. It has no graphical interface such as you might be used to with MS Project, for example.

I used Taskjuggler many years ago for managing either my own parts of projects, or overall management involving several people, however it's some time since I've done that, so I'm writing up notes on installing and using it now that I have a reason to start again.

The reason, incidentally, is that I'm working in a group whose work is managed using Jira, which personally I really do not like, but in this case, I get no say in the matter.

Jira does have a task export function, however, and I've discovered Jira-Juggler which I plan to try using to get Jira's task information into a more usable and friendly format for my purposes.

Firstly, if you want to install this on a Debian / Devuan machine, you need to know that the package maintainer decided that "tj3" was a good name for the package, so that's what you have to install.
