Project Tasks not displayed in Project Workspace

[Neufusion]

I want to display all Project Tasks in the Project Workspace for
everyone to see.

I create a new Project with Tasks assigned to myself. I save, publish,
create a workspace.

In Project Web Access, if i click the Project Workspace, it opens up
the Project Workspace site.

The 'tasks' section is empty. Is this tasks section meant as a
seperate task list not linked to Project?

So I went ahead and created a new list. Under 'Tracking', I choose
'Project Tasks'. I name the list 'Project Tasks' and save. I click
'Project Tasks' on the Quick Launch, change the view to 'All Tasks',
and there is nothing there.... I open Project 2007, open the project,
republish, open the Project Workspace, click Project Tasks, nothing
there...

Am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing something indeed. Project Workspace tasks are not the
same as project tasks. That is why you don't see anything in the Tasks
section in the Project Workspace. Hope this helps.

I am not missing that... Read the bottom paragraph:

'Project Tasks' on the Quick Launch, change the view to 'All Tasks',

I read the bottom paragraph. I am telling you that Tasks and Project Tasks
are not the same as the tasks in the Microsoft Project 2007 plan. If you
want everyone to see the tasks in the enterprise project, why don't you add
Project web part to the Home page?

Ok, thank's for the clarification. I now understand that Tasks are a
SharePoint task list, not linked to Project Server and that Project
Tasks are another SharePoint list that comes from the SharePoint
'Project Management' add-on template.

What is the purpose of a Tasks section in a Project Workspace if they
dont link back to the actual project?
