David Allen is fond of saying that there are two major things to think about for a project, namely, what "done" looks like and what "doing" looks like. That is, what is the desired outcome vs. what is the next action.

I notice that Omnifocus spends all its time focusing on next actions. Is it possible to add the ability to notate a project with what "done" looks like for that project? Or is the title for the project supposed to encapsulate that? I find it hard to be so pithy about some projects and want to use the project title as shorthand while remembering something more substantial about my vision or purpose for that project. It would be handy to keep that in the project.

Also, what I really need is an overall system that integrates projects and ALL associated materials and actions for that project.

Ideally, this would be:

Projects:
Reference:
technology
people
history
etc
Meeting Agendas
Actions:
history
Next Action

As you can see, OF handles only a small piece of the action. Just food for thought.
