I like to use checkboxes with the magic cookies to track my progress through something complex. This works nicely for a single TODO composed of multiple little steps; is something similar possible for a hierarchy of TODO items? I.e. (assume "DONE", "PROJECT" and "TODO" are defined as state keywords): * PROJECT Overhaul personal productivity [50%] ** DONE Clean my desk ** TODO Learn Org I've tried this using plain lists, but they seem to be incompatible with state keywords, and likewise checkboxes don't work with outline levels. It's not a showstopper, but it would be nice to be able to automagically evaluate how far along the path a particular PROJECT is, based upon its constituents' state. Thanks in advance! -- Christopher DeMarco IT Director MAYA Group +1-412-708-9660
