Hi all, Once again this is a useful feedback.
Let me sum up a bit the different problems that were raised here: 1/ some users are timid and hesitate to mark a task as done. Possible solutions: - add encouragement messages, - let them mark the task as "to be validated" or "to be finished". 2/ users loose the reference to the tile they were previously working on. I have ideas of enhancements to solve this issue. This is in my roadmap. 3/ rankings are bad Agreed. The list of users is the only thing others need. 4/ admin users can't mark a task as undone. As far as I know, anyone can invalidate a done task. Were you thinking about something different, Pierre?
