[kplato] MS Project XML Import

[Gaël de Chalendar]

Hello,

MS Project XML file format is called MSPDI and seems to be quite well 
documented:
http://safariexamples.informit.com/0130674494/DOCS/1033/PROJXML.HTM
It is an open source (NOT FREE !!!) format.

There is at least one Java library (used by GanttProject) which implements it 
and also other MS Project file formats.

During 2005, there was a lot of discussions between open projects to implement 
a common format (OpenOffice, KPlato, etc.). Now, all sites on this subject 
seem to be dead (no recent updates). I hope it is not, as developping a xslt 
to convert ms project to this new format could be the right solution.

Do some of you have other informations ?

Regards,

Gaël
