We have been thinking about breaking out the scheduling parts that are
used now and make them pluggable in some way, to allow for different
algorithms to be used easily. The major feature missing right now is
probably some kind of optimization and resource levelling.

This list is a prety good place to discuss the topic.

If it's a completely different scheduling algorithm, I think making the
scheduling be some kind of plugin could be a good idea. Or the code
could be used together with the current one, if it's just adding some
missing feature. I guess it depends on exactly you want to do.

I hope I could answer your questions, don't hesitate to ask again if not.

Regards,
Richard
