New Resources, leaving resources

I work on a project which last 3 or 4 years. In this time resources (i.e. 
co-workers) are leaving joining the project.
Until now i used vacation so disable/enable resource before the joined or 
after they left the project.

Is there a more elegant way to do this? IMHO "shifts" are an overkill for each 
of those workers.

empty resources for finished tasks

 hello everyone,

 i'm trying to use taskjuggler for my project and am struggling with
 some problems i'm unable to solve.

 1) when a task is finished, it most of the time has no resources
    allocated to it, ie.:

    task task1 "task1" {
        allocate        resource1
        complete        100
        start           2004-12-01-14:00
        length          2h
        end             2004-12-01-16:00
    }

    with this i was expecting that 2 hours will be taken from the
    resource1's availability and that the resource will be allocated to
    the task. however in the status report HTML, no resource is shown
    for the task :/

 2) maybe it's because i'm not using taskjuggler correctly. how can i
    specify exactly that a task was started/finished at a certain time
    and that some resource was working on it? i'd like to compare my
    planned values with reality values (i have two scenarios).

        thank you,

Another lost mail

Here is another mail that got lost during my vacation.

TaskJuggler cannot handle machine resources (resources that are needed, but 
don't do work). At least not the officially released versions. The CVS 
version supports it though. You just have to set it's 'efficiency' of the 
resource to 0.0 and it won't do any work any more.

The reports still look a bit odd, but I'm thinking about a better way to 
handle this already.

That's exactly the way how we use it as well. Vacation is the right tool for 
this.

You are using 'length' so you will get the resources only if they are 
available. If you want to make sure that you get the resources, you need to 
use 'effort' instead.

how to specify repetitive tasks?

hi,

I am still a novice user of the taskjuggler, but I already managed to
specify a rather complex tasks schedule up ...

I want to specify a task which should be executed on a regular basis, e.g.
 - every other friday from 2pm to 6pm (working day or not)
 - every first day of the months january, march, june and november
 - every second tuesday of the month
 - the last day of the month (working day or not)

does any of you could suggest me how to specify such tasks?

many thanks & best wishes for the coming year...

danny.
