Could you please elaborate what exact improvement you would like to have in KOrganizer to support the "role-based organization". I don't have the book and the example pictures don't give me a clear picture of how this is supposed to work.
Well, at the moment I have no clear vision of the best way to integrate it in korganizer. I am going to add a proposal here later. You can read the important chapter online at amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684802031 Look inside the book and search for "quadrant" Then have a look at the diagramm at page 37 to know what they are talking about. The planning process itself is described at page 79 to 102. HTH
I am just working with a church and their only sticking point that would stop them from switching to Linux is the Franklin Covey PlanPlus integration with Outlook. Here are the things they would need: - recurring tasks (not sure if you have that, Evolution doesn't have it) - show all tasks for today (not complete list, just the ones for today, or start today, or that are due today might work) - able to easily forward a task from today to tomorrow (or next week) - user defined task codes (they use A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3) - ability to plan out a week - pick and choose from master task list - ability to link tasks to pre-defined goals for yourself, etc. - keep track of long range planning goals - mark each task based on a role (pastor, father, counsellor, etc.) to track how your roles are doing The main benefit is there is a screen that shows today's appointments on one side and on the other the list of tasks for today. You can plan your week on Monday, forward tasks you don't get done, etc. I've spoken with FranklinCovey and they don't want to develop for Linux or anything other than Outlook, and their system is trademarked/patented, so do what you want with that. I'm looking to see what KOrganizer can do with a bit of tweaking in order to see if it would work as a stand in. If I know that someone will be working on this, that might help the church to jump into Linux. I wish I could code, but I only know Java/PHP. I can help to test and to give ideas.
I've now installed KOrganizer and was pleased to find that some of the things above are already a part of KOrg: recurring tasks, forward task, show all tasks for today. But some of those features listed above are not yet available. One things that I was looking for which I could not find would be the ability to look at all tasks for a particular category or priority. Is there a view that I just didn't see? Perhaps that is in another bug. I will also look around.
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
