That was my first idea, but you can't meaningfully sort by multiple criteria like that. If I'm looking for all projects that can be done in Python, and your thing is groupped by components, or by difficulty, then I'm still looking for some needles in a haystack. I agree that what you suggest is an improvement over the current page, but I think we can do better. > what i found confusing in the To-Do page is the menu on the right of > the page. i know it is the standard menu for entire development.OOo > subdomain, but on this particular page is just confusing. Yes. It just makes the site more complicated. > for example, it contains a category 'By Task'. my first impulse was > to think it will direct me to To-Do items grouped by task, not to > documentation about development grouped by task.
