I will look at more of the docs. Thanks. By the way, both http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/GetStarted and http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/MoreChandlerBasics describe the "Now/Later/Done" thing, but neither points out how the UI works. There could be, for example, a tooltip on the button which shows "Now/Later/Done". This would make the UI discoverable and more obvious. I will look for the appropriate place to file this suggestion. And maybe I can see how to help make note linking happen. It is, INHO, truly crucial. I have implemented, as I am avoiding my to-do items, an online web app for managing to-do items, and categorization of notes via tags and linking of the notes was in version 0.1. But I would like to use something like Chandler and stop hand-carving my own wheel. thanx - ray > > On Sat, 14 Mar 2009, Ray Kiddy wrote: > >> >> I am seeing, from the docs, that Chandler is trying to address more >> "subtle" or complicated to-do situations.
