Produce directed acyclic graph representations of a project roadmap. The idea is to show the steps needed to reach a goal, and the order they need to be taken, but ignore due dates and other irrelevant details.

Example

~~~yaml goal: label: | This is the end goal: if we reach here, there is nothing more to be done in the project depends: - finished - blocked

finished: status: finished label: | This task is finished; the arrow indicates what follows this task (unless it's blocked)

ready: status: ready label: | This task is ready to be done: it is not blocked by anything

next: status: next label: | This task is chosen to be done next

blocked: status: blocked label: | This task is blocked and can't be done until something happens depends: - ready - next ~~~

To run:

~~~sh cargo run --bin roadmap2dot legend.yaml | dot -Tsvg > legend.svg ~~~

This will produce a graph like the one below.
