At the moment, there is no simple way how to put those task structure into GTG. Compare it to WorkFlowy: https://workflowy.com/ There is no explicit quick add toolbar, but you are able to create the whole tasklist without needing to put your hands out of the keyboard. Do you have an idea how to get those tasks into GTG as simple as possible?
-----------------------------

Look at Tomboy: you can change level of item of bullet list by press Tab and Backspace or Alt+right and Alt +left.

So in GTG it may be like this
1. Ctrl+N, type name of project, Enter
2. -, type name of subtask, Enter
3. type name of subsubtask, Tab
And get this:
  Project
  -Subtask
  --Subsubtask

No need for a bunch of fancy tie-ins, such as with Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist is a great project, but too much for GTG.

Lets see:
6. Usability. We don't want thousands of options. We want to follow the Gnome HIG and we aim to be simple but powerful at the same time.
7. Integrated with your desktop. We aim to become a Gnome project. We hope, in the future, to integrate more and more with your gnome desktop and other applications.

Obviously that users make something with files, read some text in web browser and other apps, have IM conversations and more.
Most likely that all these activities (or some of them) are related to some project(s).
«Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users's activities and events (files opened, websites visites, conversations held with other people, etc.)»

I have no idea how to integrate GTG with Zeitgeist, but it would be very great.
For example, Jim write diploma, he create project with subtasks in GTG, text file(s) (odt or doc or maybe tex), get pictures for illustrations, presentation, get some ebooks, abstracts, make few researches on internet, have conversations with instructor by IM or email.
See? a lot.
