Please see this page, where it lists a link for git:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Planner/Development

Here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/planner there seems to be a full site.

Mark, I like your idea of assigning different calendars to different
resources, but I'm pretty sure you can do that already.  For instance, if I
create a new resource (me) and then right click Edit resource, I'm offered
a window entitled "Edit resource properties" which contains a tab called
"Calendar".  On it I can select (or define new if necessary and then
select) a calendar for that resource.  Isn't this what you're after?

A related issue is the use of integer % for resource availability (the
Units field in Edit task properties > Resources).  This makes it impossible
to schedule a person for many useful units of time per week (for example).
I think if units were interpretable as hours instead of % it could be more
useful; or using fractions e.g. 1 out of 3, 5 out of 40.
