    Thanks for the writeup and even more importantly the caveats. We created our IntelliGantt Add In for MS Project 2010 to address the following: www.teamdirection.com/mspaddin Resource Name to SharePoint Member mapping Automatic Scheduling support All task dependencies supported Any special character in task name handled Finally, we have an IntelliGantt Web Part to presents a full hierarchy in SharePoint and also has a bevy of features. www.teamdirection/.../sharepoint_index.html Finally, we added to our MS Project 2010 Add In with the following ‘most requested’ features: Automatic Synchronization Field level bidirectional data flow control (fields that ‘write only’ or ‘read only’ with SharePoint) Share a piece of a project plan to a task list using a summary task as a root Share the same project plan to multiple SharePoint lists Share master projects to SharePoint lists Read Only operations Write Only operations And, just because SharePoint 2007 is still out there, we made sure to support that as well. Let me know if you ever want a demo.
