This even wouldn't be too difficult: Cf #1, define the todo directive (:todo-form:), which, while acting like the CommentBox recipe, provide a way to define a set of page variable describing your task. In this set, don't forget to add an extra page variable definition using the (:todo-set-status:) directive, Cf #2, define the (:todo-set-status:), which, while acting like the Voting recipe, would set a dedicated page variable to specific states as "started", "waiting", "done",... Using a dedicated page group and a one todo/page rule would allow very easy handling for your data: * The (:todo-form:) markup would rely in the Group(Header|Footer) page. In this case, you may even implement the behaviour with the NewPageBoxPlus recipe and a dedicated page template). * Summaries/Dashboards would be given with a set of (:pagelist:) directives. In the same mood, you may also have a look at the PITS recipe itself, which provide something not very far from your specs.
