May I suggest renaming the package first? I'm strongly averse to cultural tendencies to name things after individual people, because such practices are almost always a disservice to others. Check out wikiped on gantt for support - he was far from the first, but just happened to be American rather than Polish. Accordingly, I just use plain-English terms like "project plan" or "project map". Doing that would open up the doors to take better advantage of what timevis and other packages and related js software have to offer... This could and should be about quite a bit more than just timelines - see the hyperbole on offer at proggio.com for inspiration (or not ... but at least for convincing arguments of extending beyond the name of yet another long-dead and far-from-the-first white american male).

Sure. Open to this. Any suggestions welcome.
