Hi Ed: You're right, it was easier than I thought it would be to add the new statuses. Thanks for the push. What I chose was a new ProjectStatus I call "pending" which is really pending my availability to work on it. I also have a new ActionStatus called "queued" which basically means the same thing. The hardest part of all this was to come up with appropriate names, and I'm still not totally thrilled, but I think the functionality is good.
It wasn't too difficult to update my favorite views, and I also created a new dashboard view which works well for me. The left column is stuff that needs attention right now: Ticklers Requiring Action and Next Actions. The right column is stuff that I need to keep an eye on: Active Projects, Queued Actions in Active Projects, and Pending Projects I am happy to share what I did, but I'm not quite sure the best way to do that. Also I would appreciate input from the developers on how to keep these changes from getting discarded in any mGTD upgrades. P.S. Sorry for having started this message topic with a totally useless subject.
