One more link of interest concerning how Lookup fields are declared in Fields.xml:

Nice to see some more progress on these! It would be great to see some of the other solutions/fixes people have found (that I think are still present in this set) merged into this latest update:

1) social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../d2f562d5-888c-45a2-9f47-727af95304f7

This concerns spurious "Unable to locate the xml-definition for FieldName .." errors in the logs all referencing App Core field GUIDs.

2) ikarstein.wordpress.com/.../deploying-fantastic-fourty-templates-of-moss-2007-on-sharepoint-2010

This talks about cleaning up the App Core WSP and removing fields that are being deployed twice.

I was going to go with the updated set from TechSol, but Physical Asset Tracking indicates you need SP Enterprise enabled.

Also, I'm getting an error of "A duplicated field name "Predecessors" was found" when provisioning most site types. Something to do with the Tasks lists that are defined.

These templates are not supported by Microsoft.

These migrated templates are for the customers who want to migrate data from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 and have the same capabilities of FAB-40.

If we want to get a way with the above approach, we need to built the capabilities of FAB-40 using WebTemplates and try to migrate the data alone from MOSS 2007

Now - are those migrated Fab40 templates supported by Microsoft, since you're publishing this here?

Most of them are based on site definition model - wouldn't we want to move away from that, since WebTemplate element provides same capablity?

Great .. This is one of the most asked in SharePoint 2010

All the FAb-40 templates will work in SharePoint Online - Dedicated

They don't work in SharePoint Online - Shared, as they are not sand boxed solutions
