+1 about having task-status as its own, filterable criteria. Ideally, I would like to be able to have a task like,
Connect with Jim about Widgets (is the project) Email Jim (is the sub-task) The sub-task, "Email Jim" is my next action (status), I will email him when I am at work (context) and I can tag this sub-task with "widgets, working-group tasks or whatever other tags I can think of. It's important, though, that task status is its own thing, so that I don't jumble it up with my tags or contexts. This is a critical element of GTD and, as Todo is one of my favorite task management apps for iphone, would really go a very long way toward the goal of having "just one" task management app on my iphone. Thanks.
