at the current exchange rate, that's more like 1p :)

Hi bsag,

Here's my two cents (two p?  ;).

In the GUI (that is, on the project page), the dependent actions
could be in a dependent actions section, just like the tickler
actions are in their own section.

I would, for simplicity's sake, only let a next action be dependent
on one and only one other next action. Each action then could have
only one parent and one child.

One could choose to have a dependency chain, to use the tickler, or
to avoid dependencies altogether.

Stephen
