How about a list? I can't picture how to > abbreviate some things... Sure. Here it is: - TODO :: Open, not (yet) started. - STRT :: In progress, working on, doing. - WAIT :: On hold, assigned, feedback. - SDAY :: Someday, maybe, perhaps, wish. - DONE :: Completed, closed, resolved. - CANX :: Wontfix, rejected. The only exception, but that's on purpose is "NEW" for things going to the CollectBox. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
