Very cool.  I like the idea of shading the bar according to the
percentage of allocated resources are working on the task at the time.
Following that idea, then, wouldn't you make weekends transparent also?
I second Richards opinion that working with shading the bar would be
more more clear to the user.

I'd like to see this added as a viewing option, rather than make it the
only option.  Its innovative - which is great - that's what we want, but
we should also be sensitive to the needs of those who want simplicity.

I have a question too.  If you don't set priorities on the tasks (i.e.
all tasks are the same priority), what happens?  I presume the
overallocation of resources is allowed, no tasks are pushed out, and the
display is 'normal' (i.e. current Planner style Gantt)?

Thanks for working on this, Matteo.  Good stuff.
