Yup, that would definitely be an improvement. Ideally if the UI has
that information it shouldn't need to be documented at all (no one
reads the docs anyway ;)

Note that generally I think each task line is really cluttered right
now- at this point every line in the table now has *9* pieces of
information associated with it:

[delete]
[edit]
[star]
[complete]
[overdue?]
[title]
[project]
[defer 1 day]
[defer 7 days]

Multiply that by a lot of tasks and that's a whole lot of information
in every screen. Having your eyes scan that much information every
time makes it harder to find the really important information- 'what
do I need to do next.'

I'm afraid I don't have any great suggestions on how to simplify right
now- maybe put the less frequently used star/delete/defer buttons into
the edit box? But I'd definitely strongly recommend considering the
cognitive cost of all this clutter before adding anything more.

Thanks again to everyone- trunk looks great, and I'm looking forward
to playing with calendar and the email code-
