Re: [Planner Dev] Reporting Actual Effort in the Tasks Page

[Cameron Shorter <shorterc2 optusnet com au>]

I'm considering writing XSL to extract BCWS and BCWP from the MrProject 
format.
I'm guessing that if I write this properly, then it could slot quite 
easilly into the HTML export function.
1. If I write this would developers be interested in it?
2. Is there anything I should consider (coding standards etc) before I 
start?
