Comment 3 for bug 345827

Raphael > Thanks for your feedback. You reported *a lot* of really interesting bugs and I really appreciate (even if it means more work us ;-) )

The fact is that we want to keep things simple, straight and generic.

It means that we cannot exactly fit in every usecases you can imagine. It also means than we want to keep the number of concepts in use in GTG to a strict minimum. Each concept that would be added should be weighted to see the benefits.

The start_date will soon change its name to better reflect this (and will be delay based instead of date base. Like "report this in two weeks" that's bug #340036 ) : it's the date when you want your task to appear in the workview. Nothing else. You handle that how you want it but it is the date used to know when the task will appear in your workview.

The screenshot you provide is exactly what we want gtg to *not* be. Just imagine your mother launching it for the first time.

So I really appreciated your proposition. I didn't closed it "quickly". I took a few minutes to be sure to understand but you were clear. To think about the idea and then, I thought : "that's clearly not intuitive and really heavy to put in a user interface for no feature benefit". So I closed it as "Wont fix" and "wishlist" which is, as I sent to the mailing list, our code for idea that we don't see the need to do or we clearly cannot do right now but that everyone should be free to reopen if things change.

Please continue to report such idea. Of course, we cannot agree on all, of course there might be ideas that one will find completely dumb and the other will find genius. But that's how we will all evolve and bugs reports are cheap ! I really want to thank you for all the bugs you've found :-)

In order to have a third party advice, I will let Bertrand choose if this bug should be confirmed or closed.
