[Planner] msp2planner



Hi All.

I've completed an initial version of a stylesheet (see attached) that
will transform a MS Project xml file to a planner file.  You need MS
Project 2002 or higher to be able to save to xml format to allow this
transformation to work (i.e. it won't work on .mpp files)...

Here's a summary of what's implemented:
* Project Info
* Tasks
* Constraints
* Resources
* Allocations

What's not:
* Properties - MS Project doesn't save this info to xml file
* Phases - no MS Project equivalent
* Calendars - difficult if at all possible to convert (will attempt in
future).
* Resource Groups - same as calendars... difficult at best but will try
in a future revision.

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who'd like to try it out.  You need
MS Project 2002 or higher.  Here's what you do:

1. In MS Project, do a 'save as', choosing 'xml format' as the file
type.
2. Transfer the xml file over to your linux box.
3. Run the transformation:
$ xsltproc -o [outputfilename.mrproject] msp2planner.xsl
[inputfilename.xml]
4. Use Planner to open the [outputfilename.mrproject] file.

Check your tasks, milestones, resource allocations, predecessors, notes,
and anything else you can think of.  Let me know how it looks!

I'd like to see this functionality integrated into the Planner file open
routine for v0.13 (actually looking for someone to help hack this
solution... any takers?).
