Hi, mGSD looks great. I'm a GTD veteran and am looking for a system that works on Linux. I converted my data to mGSD to see it's handling. Here're some things I observed, and maybe someone can help me with this:
* Actions have a start date and I don't want to seem the before that start date has passed. The idea of GTD is to keep things out of sight, if I can't work on them. I know I can set a tickler with a date and then convert it to an action, but that's extra work. * Actions have due dates/deadlines. I saw a couple of posts, however, I don't want to use ticklers for that. * I want to directly go from the action to the project. I can set the project, but I cannot jump to that specific project from the action. * I want to easily define sequences of actions. Other GTD programs solve this by letting you define whether the project actions are to be executed in sequence or in parallel. If in sequence, then they only show the first one in the 'next action' list. Defining sequences through the 'depends on' is tedious. Basically I want to see just the first action of every project. * Task&project templates. I often have checklists and action lists that recur each time a specific event happens (e.g., do computer maintenance has 15 predefined actions). It would be nice to instantiate new projects from these checklists. Other software also offers placeholders in the templates that then can be filled at the time of instantiating the template (e.g., on computer maintenance, it has <name> that can be filled, or on 'do trip' it has <location>, <start>, <end>); my workaround is to have this setup with quick add and fill the variables in some other program that then spits out what needs to be copied into quick add. * Give me autocompletion in quick add. * Review should actually permit me to review actions to update them. So each action should have a 'last reviewed' time stamp and the review view should show projects with actions and make it easy for me to review them. Do any of the plugins solve these things? I am unfortunately an old Java geezer, so I cannot hack these things in there myself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.
