I believe in most situations that would/will work. However, since we (as in you and I) have inside information, I'm not sure if that workflow would work.

But, generally, that has been how I worked in the past with other Ticket systems.

Thanks! No Kahuna Rocks!

Yes, that would be one way to accomplish an ad-hoc prioritization. However, and this just applies to me, I use the re-ordering ability to place at top the task I'm working on. It makes it easier for me to locate my 'active' task.

Sometimes I will put tasks requiring additional input at the bottom of my list. Would you suggest assigning to the intended party instead?

Setting Task Priorities

Similar to the 'setting deadlines for task' topic I would like a way to set a simplistic prioritization for tasks within a category.

I'm currently on a project that has more tasks within a category then their monthly budget allows. We're currently implementing an ad-hoc hi-med-low prioritization mechanism within the task text.

What other suggestions can you make? Would you be opposed to implementing this hi-med-low system in a manner easier then editing the task text?

However, more importantly, I love NoKahuna and plan on using it as much as I can on private and public projects! Keep up the great work.

Will NK implement bulk task operations?

It would be nice to be able to select a bunch of tasks and assign them all to someone or move them to another category or mark them as done or delete them all together.

I have a situation now where a bunch of tasks are no longer relevant. So, to keep my project clean, I have to select each task and mark it as done. Kind of a PITA.

I like breaking things, in general. :-D

However I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I really don't care about email threading. Gmail is my primary email client and I just search for emails.

I wouldn't want to break it for others. I withdraw /this/ suggestion. ;-)

Add a one word 'reason' for Notification email in Subject line...

I love the fact that NK is chatting with the email. However, I'd like to know 'why' I'm getting the email besides the fact I'm on the notification list. It's kind of a bother to have to open each email just to look to see why I'm getting it.

I would like to see [project name] [Assigned] <text> when I've been assigned a task.

I would like to see [project name] [Notification] <text> when someone has posted something to a task I'm following.

I would like to see [project name] [Completed] <text> when a task I'm watching has been marked as Done.

I would like to see [project name] [Re-Opened] <text> when a task I'm watching has been re-opened.

Thoughts?</text></text></text></text>

That's an excellent suggestion. I thought I had tried to view the requestor's profile on my own and I can swear i was taken back to my pending invites. I could be wrong - I've only two requests, so the next one I'll pay closer attention.

Cheers,
Mel

Reviewing a requestor's profile

For friend requests I'd like to be able to see their profile before I decide to Approve or Deny. I don't normally accept requests from people I don't know, I model my online activities after my real-life behavior and just don't make friends with strangers on the street.
