The catchcry for MonkeyGTD / mGSD was "catholic GTD" (*catholic* in the sense of *strictly by the book*, so you could say 'canonical GTD' if you like). On reflection this may have been subtly influenced by Jeremy Ruston's good example, carefully curating features for the original TiddlyWiki. The only non-book mGSD feature is Realms, which got added to keep work and home projects separate -- we decided that David Allen might be able to take time out of his workday to go buy new socks or gardening equipment or whatever, but that normal people didn't get to do home-things during work time. So Realms let you kind of run two separate GTD systems side by side, one for work and one for home. Probably the most requested feature was due dates, but the GTD book makes it clear that calendaring is different from task tracking, and I always thought (and I think Simon agrees) that someone who wanted due dates on all tasks was doing something other than GTD. Obviously it's up to you whether you want Briefcase to follow the mGSD policy on features (and I don't think Danielo has requested any non-GTD features anyway), or even whether you want Briefcase to be a big deal you spend time maintaining and supporting; I guess I mainly wanted to say that it's never too early to consider the high level, hand-wavy stuff about feature addition policy etc. Also, I'll admit I've never actually used dGSD, but it looks awesome -- maybe you and David should have chat about joining forces or something. The other "strand" of tw GTD tools was d-cubed, at http://www.dcubed.ca -- might be worth a look for a compare-and-contrast thing. Cheers!
