Makes sense - just wanted to check and be sure.

Hmmm... I think it would be possible to do this in OmniOutliner. Task names in the topic column, a pop-up column for the folks that tasks are assigned to, a couple of columns for tracking start/due dates, checkboxes to track item completion.

That said, I feel like your intended use case is a lot closer to what OmniFocus does right now. It currently has better in-app tools for sorting and filtering the contents of the database. As a specific example, OmniOutliner doesn't currently have the ability to hide rows that have been checked off from view; they stay visible.

That said, I know we have customers that track projects like this in OmniOutliner. I'll shut up now and let the folks with some actual helpful information respond to your posts. :-)
