Great! We have looked a little at Pygannt but mostly for making it
possible to read/write pygantt files. Do you think that we maybe even
can share the XML format? That would be awesome.

I think this would be of great value for both projects. And it should
probably be pretty easy to implement. Can you add this to our bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.codefactory.se/)?

Very much so. A DTD for the file format in 0.6 is available at:

http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/libmrproject/file-modules/xml/mrproject-0.6.dtd

this might change slightly.
