Thanks for the mockup.

I don't know anything about missing Drag'n'Drop in GTK3 - yeah, GTK3 supports Drag'n'Drop.

You are missing in your mockup way how to switch to WorkView.

I don't see a reason why we should have "Have a date" view. Start date and due date should be shown next to a task. Another option is to adopt tasque view: http://people.gnome.org/~sharm/tasque-0.1.8.png It would get rid of the overdue menu item on the left.

What should be the function of Inbox? It is a "reserved" word from GTD terminology. I would prefer, if Inbox would be the current "tasks without tags".

Do we need Starred tasks? I find it just a clutter. (Lists/tags are there for that)

Why the new button has that menu button within it? People find it hard to use (quoting somebody from this bugzilla when i proposed this kind of button).

There is a proposal for using small icons as well as color for tags. It should be shown next to the name of the list. Another proposal was to show the name of tag in the tasklist - look at it - lp:~bertrand-rousseau/gtg/new-tag-label-in-taskviews
User should be able to associate tag with its color and its task easily

What about tag tree? (A tag is parent for other tags?) This is hard to think about it. You will probably need the treewidget to get it right and I don't think it would be possible to put it into right panel. The question is: clutter (but features) or simple list of tasks?

I would put list of backends' tasks into list section.

How do you think it would be the best way to hide done tasks? When I mark a task as done, I would prefer to stay here (at least for a while). When I have a lot of done tasks, I can't see tasks to do.

I hope that search toolbar down there is only when you press a keyboard shortcut (CTRL+F) and is not there the whole time. We want for user to create live list. After searching, he could save the search and use it as quick refrence.

There is an idea, that GTG doesn't need main menu at all. (We need to launch settings and backends configuration dialog) Maybe you should consider that.

I think that home screen with the overall statistics would be cool. If it is done properly, it would cool feature! But it must provide so unique information, that the user doesn't matter one more click to get to the tasks. User story:
Jan is an active young boy who has a lot of things to do. He has so many tasks, that he needs an intelligent preview, whats going on, which project needs his attention. He can find that information on the home screen.

I think to design home screen would be challenging and really hard.

Why do you want to integrate Sushi? I don't see any reason for that. Could you explain it?

When I look at the whole mockup, it looks a little bit cluttered. (It might be because everything is edited and showed at the same time)

Thanks for your work on the mockup.
