Excellent post! Too much to respond to but to pick up a couple of points Timeline: much requested and I have the sense that its in Andrey's sights now (but no promises)
Better To Do tab: interesting thoughts. Agree re it being too much if you have a large backlog. Do you have some specific ideas here. (And are you aware of the auto formattting rules) which help. I use flags to mark stuff of particular importance and then customise To Do views to show just this info 'This man needs Project Management software' - agree completely. MLO has real potential as a lightweight personal planning tool. Not there yet but hang in my friend. Where are you based? Richard On Apr 16, 5:25 pm, Matt Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > At last!
