If Google could make GTasks (Google Tasks) a “first class citizen” and add the following features, it would be an ideal GTD application:
- Add ability to:
- add columns to the outline
- sort on any column
- go back to the outline sort with a single mouse click
- color or add tags (like in Gmail) to any row in the outline manually or based on a user-defined rule
- access Google Tasks using a URL without the word “mail” in it, since so many corporate firewalls block those URLs (for example, at work I can access Google Calendar, but not Google Mail)
- Make GTasks available from all Google applications (i.e., Calendar, Reader, etc.)
- It’d be nice if the columns could be defined as dates, numbers, drop down choices, etc.
- Any column accepting text should convert URLs into clickable links
- Add the ability to turn any email into a row or “to do” on the Task outline (granted, this is a change to GMail)
What do you think? What else would GTasks need to be an ideal GTD Platform? Add your comments below.
Awesome suggestions Clint.
I'm curious…Does it already embed itself on the iGoogle pages? That'd be cool too.
I think Google is working to make this work on the Android phone, and kill all the rest. So what else is needed…
Can it stand alone on a mobile device as a separate icon?
I'd also like to see all of these tools available to Google Apps for their custom domains.
