The use case seems *obvious* to be; especially for WebDAV address books since WebDAV supports hierarchical collections [although CalDAV/CardDAV/GroupDAV all place restrictions on how child collections can be structured]. If you have multiple server-side collections of contacts you currently have to define multiple addressbooks rather than just one that can expand to list the collections - even supporting descending a single level of collections would be *very* useful. > I will campaign > rather for child-tasks (sub-tasks) where completion of each child task > sums up the percentage progress for the parent/container task This really seems like a server-side issue to me. The issue really is there is no way standard way to specify a hierarchy of tasks in either UI or in the representation [VTODO] so I think that would be a special/custom plugin. But if you right one I'll support it in my server because it would be very useful. In the same manner there is no way to deal with delegation. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
