There has been talk about doing more with lists. It's just talk at the moment.

1) Could there be a way to somehow assign an order to todo items in a project? (So they don't all appear at the same time in your DailyDiegst page.)

Maybe when you mark one "done" then the next one will automatically be marked as "todo". (sometimes called a sequential list, sometimes called a dependency list. Because subsequent todo items are dependent on the previous todo item being completed.)

2) Could a list be modified so that it somehow became a "project" or that the items in the list would become full todo items at some later point?

3) Could it be possible to somehow "bind" all items in a project together with more than just a tag? Could all the items know that they're part of a project and have a reference or link back to the project "overview". The project "overview" would contain links to all the parts of the project, the sequence of the items to be completed, etc. (Maybe the significance of each part, maybe an estimated time line, etc.)

You've got it. Creating a "project" means creating a set of individual items that share a common tag.

Using a tag is like creating a "virtual" list. Everything with that tag is added to the list. Actually, maybe "list" isn't the best word to describe it. It's an unordered set of items, not a "list" at all. And that's it's biggest problem.

There is a slightly better way to *create* a project. You can use the "remember +" power move. Although this results in the same thing, a set of individual items that share the same tag. (See http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... ) Your example is easy, add a plus "+" to the end of the first line in your first example. "remember @jobsearch +"

By the way, you can add notes and other items to your projects. Contacts. etc. This might be convenient. (Example: a contact for the consultant, a note with instructions on how to update your resume, phone numbers, etc.)

You might not want to tag all the items in your list as @todo at the same time. This will add all the todo items to your daily digest page. As if you wanted to do them all today, at the same time. Sometimes you might want to do one thing in your list first, then mark it as @done, then select another item from your list and then tag it as @todo. etc. (Thereby imposing an order on the todos in your project.)
