task1 <--- task2.
means task2 has to start before task1 can finish, so I suppose task2 should be 
calculated first. 
I don't think there are many use cases for it, I can't pull one from the top 
of my head just now ;)

Not much of an relationship atm, I don't know (think) there is anyone from 
KDAB that follows up on us. I have sort of postponed KDGantt atm since  I 
have lot of other stuff to do :)
KDGantt needs to be ported to qt4 which I suspect is not an easy job, there 
are some peculiar code in there. But, it's not urgent, it will run as long as 
qt3support exists.

I didn't really expect it, hence my smiley.

Yes, agree to that.
I think they know, though, because contact has been made both for kplato alone 
and for koffice as a whole. Hmmm, time flies, it must have been nearly a year 
ago, before 1.5 release.
The dream is to have a constistent set for all of koffice, of course.
