YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!!!
i've been mulling over the design of a tool like this for almost a year
and half, I built a version of it about a year ago for my own personal
use, it improved my productivity by about 2-3 times, but lacked in many
areas. When Hal opened my eyes to so many killer project management
techniques I started designing a new version. i'm almost done.
Talk about rockin' the rockin' house!! I plan on making this tool (not
the code...the tool) freely available (at least for a while).
