Stumbling on an idea at http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthread.php?8042-Do-it-Tomorrow-and-GTD-Comments-on-the-two-systems&p=55863#post55863 I started thinking of whether there are any ways in OF to get any statistics on the number of projects, actions and NAs in the system. I know there is a counter of sorts in the iPhone app, but I haven't seen anything in the desktop version.
My idea is this: By being able to see somewhere the total number of items in my system, and checking this number on a regular basis, I would get an idea of whether the amount of work in my system is decreasing, unchanging or increasing.
Is there, or might there be added, a way to simply count all outstanding items in any way?
(Admittedly this suggestion is based on assuming that the number of items will actually tell anything about the amount of work, but with enough stuff in the system, I'd say that it should generally be true, as the variations in time estimates would balance eachother out well.)
