E.g. TODO: Check with project X ? --> prio 0 TODO: Check with project X ? ! --> prio 1 TODO: Check with project X ? !? --> prio 0 TODO: Check with project X ? !?? --> prio -1 TODO: Some action ! - really needed ? --> prio 1 TODO: Some action !? --> prio 0 TODO: Some action !?? --> prio -1 This semantic would show that negative prios reflect the amount of confusion there is about the action item - somehow that feels right to me - you start with a clear prio and as the amount of confusion grows it drops to the bottom of the list :) Regards, Jaap
