[Planner] Questions/suggestions

[Mikko Harjula <mikko harjula gware com>]

I just found Planner.  Thank you for this great program!

I am now working to map my project specifics into Planner.  First I
entered all project meetings as subtasks but soon noticed that this
will result in serious problems.  I cannot have the actual work use
the time left over from meetings.

Then I switched to entering meetings into the calender as
non-working-time.  This approach seems to work ok.  However it is a
bit awkward to me that project meetings cannot be seen as project
task.  Is it planned in the future to be able to manage periodic or
repeating tasks?  Another idea might be to subtract the time used for
fixed time tasks from the working hours.

I think that the past time and the future time would benefit from
somewhat different handling.  The current behavior of Planner seems to
focus on tasks in the future compartment.  Currently if I planned to
work on a task 50% but have actually managed to work only 25%, then
how do I fix this?  I cannot set different "commitment percentage" for
different time periods.  For tasks in the past I would like to enter
the hours actually worked for each task.
