I'm using the package pgfgantt to create Gantt charts. I've seen that with the "today" key one can have vertical line drawn in the chart. However, only one today key is allowed. How can I have several vertical lines? I want to draw a Gantt chart for several years, and I'm using the vertical grid to have dotted lines for each month, but I'd like to have a vertical solid line to split each of the years.

The problem is with your syntax for the vgrid style list.
From PGF Gantt Documentation: A style list item has the general syntax *{<n>}{<style>}.
You are correct in using the additional draw = none for no style on the vgrid but it should be contained within the style argument {<style>}.
So rather than vgrid={draw=*2{none}, dotted}
You should use vgrid={*2{draw=none}, dotted} This would produce the following output:
You could use two \ganttbars; the second one using the inline option. Below, this approach, thorough a command:
\Dganttbar{<side text>}{<inline text>}{<start>}{<end>}
The code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\newcommand\Dganttbar[4]{%
\ganttbar{#1}{#3}{#4}\ganttbar[inline,bar label font=\footnotesize]{#2}{#3}{#4}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{ganttchart}{1}{12}
\gantttitle{2011}{12} \\
\gantttitlelist{1,...,12}{1} \\
\Dganttbar{WP1}{Theoretical part}{1}{5} \\
\Dganttbar{WP1}{Experimental part}{2}{6} \\
\Dganttbar{WP2}{Theoretical part}{7}{11}\\
\Dganttbar{WP2}{Experimental part}{8}{12}\\
\end{ganttchart}
\end{document}

This is what I use, I'm not absolutely satisfied because with this solution I cannot have lines for months and weeks.
