Thank you Omni for bringing this one step closer to delivery, and thank you Ethan for the great demo.
I'll be looking forward to seeing how other features will be implemented:
- Handling of 'on hold' tasks (other that those on hold beacuse sequential to an uncompleted task)
- Handling of start/deadline dates (kGTD points in the right direction)
- Export to iCal/handhelds (I agree with those who say: filtered output to iCal, iCal cannot handle too many tasks, I like to see only my actionable next tasks there)
- Printing abilities: I really would like to be able to carry my task list in printed for with me. Not all people use palm devices! But I would like to be able to define custom printouts (active tasks only by context, all tasks by project etc.)
- On the subject of next tasks in parallel projects, IMO by definition they are all next and should be higlighted as such! If I still want to highlight certain next tasks as my must-do list for the day, I will probably be using some kind of flag to extract those. (Where's the flag?)
Good job so far
Don't take too long!

This reasoning is why we also allow you to sort by "available" tasks.

It's not a flag, it's a star :-) You'll be able to star projects using whatever reasoning you want (importance, stuff you need to do today, etc.)

Thanks for watching the video!

I'm so thrilled about OF, I'm just watching Ethan's demo yet again for the sheer joy of it, and something occurred to me. How are you Omni folks thinking about Someday/Maybe items, and how they fit into OF (if at all)? I've been thinking so much about active work requirements that I hadn't considered this issue yet.

This might be a more appropriate question for a later release-- I certainly don't want to bring up anything that would delay you putting a beta into our hands :) but I'm just curious as to whether OF will eventually deal with or store Someday/Maybe items at all?

This is something I wanted to ask about too but thought better of it until I can take OF out for a test drive... but since you brought it up...
 
Honestly, we don't have a specific plan for someday/maybe items in 1.0. I expect people will find creative solutions. The simpliest thing I can think of is creating a folder for someday/maybe projects.
 
I've been corrected. Though we don't actually have a feature or any UI labeled "someday/maybe", thought has been put into the concept. Someday/maybe projects can be put "on-hold" with review dates set at some point in the future.
