When I assign a user to a group and then assgin the group to the project I don't see the user as a member of the project. is there a way to change this or is this by design for a reson I don't see yet.

How are you assigning users to groups? In the administration console of the Explorer interface or the Share interface? When you say "Project", do you mean "Web Project" or a site in Share? Or something else?

<memory failure>Yes there's a reason, however I can't now remember what it was :? </memory failure> It's probably got something to do with performance and the consequences of having to deal with potentially huge numbers of users if large groups are exploded.

In Share the membership via a group is not exactly the same as being an individually listed member. For example groups are not invited into a site and groups can't leave sites. And the individual members of a group are not listed in the colleagues dashlet.

I suggest you raise an enhancement request in JIRA so the issue can be voted for and re-considered properly if it gets sufficient votes.

Thanks that is an answer.
So this brings me to my next question - Can I create custom portlets in share and what is required to do so ?
a URL link is all I ask.

Would this be it ?
