Thanks Davor, I have ccd myself on all the bugs you reference and as I get more 
up to speed I hope
to reduce the overlap.

Some additional comments below:

I still do not know the difference between Delete and Remove buy I was 
imagining right clicking on
an item (in the detail list or dashboard) and toggling a Show in Dashboard 
setting. I would not
expect a delete key to perform this action... but then again what is the 
difference between remove
and delete?

Well I wasn't thinking that far ahead. I would be happy with just an new item. 
I was imagining
making some quick notes on a new task and realizing that these notes needed to 
be items in their own
right. By grouping items and building relationships you open all sorts of 
possibilities. I use Mind
Mapping software a lot (MindManager) and indeed there is a lot of overlap 
between PIM, Brainstorming
and Note Taking. I am starting to think about a way to transfer tasks from 
MindManager to Chandler.
Is there an open import/export spec yet? Would it be a Plugin?
