The Future

What exciting developments will the future bring for TaskTracker?  Here is a list.  But be warned: this list may change drastically, and no guarantees are made that any of these items are actually in the works.  Items closer to the top of the list are slightly more likely.

1. "Call To Action" tasks: globally visible tasks that any number of users can sign up for, with a single view for aggregate information.  Ideal for petitions, calls to representatives, pledge drives...
2. Automated and manual notifications and reminders: task deadline approaching and the fellow who's responsible hasn't made any updates in days?  Send that ne'er-do-well a gentle reminder or two through TaskTracker.  Don't trust your colleagues to get things done on their own?  Tell TaskTracker to automatically warn task owners of imminent deadlines.  It can also email you about updates to tasks just like trac.  (This will actually require a separate notification service which TaskTracker can interact with.)
   
3. (Frontend) Undo your most recent changes with a keystroke.
4. (Frontend) Ensure that no functionality requires javascript.
5. Separate XHTML/CSS/Javascript.
   
6. Lots of code cleanup.
7. Renaming some things to be less OpenPlans-specific.
   
8. A standalone TaskTracker product which does not rely on an external User Manager (eg OpenPlans).  This primarily means making ZWSGIFakeEnv useful.
9. Massive cleanup of TaskTracker's internal security system.
   
10. Personal tasklists divorced from any "project" context.
11. More flexible tasklists, creation of new tasklists from existing tasks, tasks existing on multiple tasklists.
12. Completely customizable views and queries (like trac's reports).  Ideally fully functional (unlike trac's reports?) which could cover #10 as a specific case.
    
13. Customizable data fields for tasks.  This may be an actively bad idea, though.
14. Better separation of data from interface.  Core of TaskTracker as a standalone web service?
15. Communication with other task management software?
