Hi Roma Just a minor thought: I wonder whether the name "Briefcase" sufficiently communicates that it's a faithful implementation of GTD?
Simon and Daniel have published the email they received from David Allen's company that explains the limitations to using "GTD" and "Getting Things Done" in product names: http://monkeygtd.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/long-story-short-post-your-suggestions.html It sounds like "GID" for "Getting It Done" wouldn't infringe. Given the relationship to mGSD, maybe one possibility is just to choose another animal: bGSD for "badger Getting Stuff Done" etc.? Or to reflect the move to TW5, maybe "GSD*5". Anyhow, only a thought, and I wouldn't be in the least offended if you'd rather stick with "Briefcase"!
