Does that cover enough use cases for recurring tasks, or are the
cases where you want to have a task recur, but not have it on your
calendar?

fwiw, i do use recurring tasks (i use rememberthemilk.com): pay the
bills, go to the comic shop, whatever. this has always been an
important feature to me; iirc, i mentioned it in my phone screen with
lisa a couple years ago ;)

i used to subscribe to the icalendar feed of my task list in google
calendar, which places them in the all day section of the calendar
canvas (it does this with all tasks, not just recurring ones).

this was always sort of annoying on the days where i had several tasks
due, because it pushed the rest of the day down the screen and made me
have to scroll to see the afternoon hours (which of course put the all
day area offscreen).

eventually i unsubbed from the task feed and now use rtm's gadget on
my google home page, which provides a more preferable task list
interface (more like an agenda view than a calendar view).

so yea, i'm not sure that i want them to show up in the calendar view,
but i can live with it. we probably won't have the same real estate
problems in chandler and cosmo if we're only talking about recurring
tasks on the calendar, not all tasks. and i'll probably be living in
my dashboard mostly anyway.
