So many options... so little time :) Pick whatever fits your work-flow the best -- or come up with something new! -Bernt Samuel Wales writes: > For a look at some of the issues related to notes, contacts, > conversations, etc., search for "conversation manager" and my name. > > On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 11:46, Matthew Lundin wrote: >> Hi Keith, >> >> Keith Lancaster writes: >> >>> (Newbie question again) >>> >>> I frequently have TODOs that span some amount of time while in the >>> STARTED state.
