For example, I use TODOs at the very lowest possible level to indicate the next action in a particular project. That said, I'd welcome some hierarchical propagation of TODO, as it is with tags. One can imagine using two kinds of todos: TODO and NEXTACTION. TODO would be attached to (high-level) projects I'm currently interested in doing, whereas NEXTACTION attached to the low-level nodes of the tree that correspond to the next physical action to take. The agenda could be configured in such a way to display only these NEXTACTIONs that have an ancestor marked as TODO. Note that this is already possible with tags. Is it sensible to make org.el treat TODOs as a any other tag? To make most of org-mode, I think it would be very useful to compare how people actually use it. I'm sure I could learn a lot of useful things from such an exchange, and would be surprised by the variety of organizing structures people use. The best way to achieve that is probably to post deprivatized sample parts of our .org files with a short explanation. What place do you think is the best: this email list? some wiki? something else?
