I absolutely agree. .-) In every calendar program that features to-do lists I have used, there is a disconnect between the calendar and the to-do list. I can remember to use and check my calendar, but the to-do list remains largely unused, because correlation between the calendar and the to-do list is hard even when viewed side-by-side. In fact, when I do use the to-do list it is for items that have no definite time constraints. In a collaborative environment it gets even worse, because a co-worker might check my calender to see what I am doing, when I have time for a meeting, etc, but doesn't check my to-do list. If I want to publish that on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I am spending all my available time on a particular task, I make entries in the calendar, since that way I am sure co-workers can see I am busy. Besides, the to-do list items do not say anything about the work load each task represents. The counter argument for this is that, that the calendaring and to-do features in a program such as Evolution isn't meant as a planning tool such as Mr. Project (http://mrproject.codefactory.se/). What one *could* consider was some sort of integration between Mr Project and Evolution, such that appointments in the Evolution calendar are known to Mr Project, and projects and tasks in Mr Project could somehow be displayed in the Evolution Calendar. Some would probably say that this is outside of the scope of Evolution, and I am myself not all to sure if such an integration is a good idea. Having said all, that (and just to repeat myself), I absolutely agree with Oliver. -- Janus Christensen ______________________________________________________ I want something that'll give me the stamina of a young werewolf, the vision of a shaman, the thoughts of a serial killer and the gentleness of a hungry vampire bat. -- Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan
