I think the easiest way would be to have a database standing between the
Org file(s) and the web interface. Like this, you would be able to edit
project either directly from the Org files or through the web interface,
the database being responsible to keep things synchronized.
But this is a lot of work... and i'm not sure .org files can really
breath and live long outside Emacs.

Before we go further into this discussion, let me raise again a concern
that many in this list expressed before me: Org should stick to the Unix
coding principle, i.e. « do one thing and do it well. » Org-mode handles
to-do lists, and it does it well.
There is no need to make Org a full-fledged project management system;
but if such a system is able to interact (edit/store) in some way with
Org's file format, then it's worth to explore this way.

If you share a file with other people, you can assign a task to someone
by adding a :Owner: property.

To me the content of an entry looks like "comments".

Well, you can do this with links.

Aren't sparse-tree/agenda views enough?

See my suggestion above.

I think the whole issue is not "How to make Org a collaborative tool for
project management" but rather: "Is it worth trying to implement a web
application that uses Org format for storing/exchanging information?"
And I don't have any answer to that!
