Thanks a lot for your great help.

I've played a little with the code you've sent and here's what I end up with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+source: tasklist
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var person="FPZ" :results raw
(setq org-agenda-files (list (buffer-file-name)))
(let (tasklist)
  (add-to-list 'tasklist "|<c>|||" t)
  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
     (let ((priority (nth 3 (org-heading-components))))
       (add-to-list 'tasklist
                    (concat "| *" (nth 2 (org-heading-components)) "* "
                            "|/[#" (char-to-string (if priority
priority ?B)) "]/ "
                            "| [[" (nth 4 (org-heading-components)) "]]|") t)))
   (concat person "/!TODO|STARTED|WAIT") 'agenda)
  (mapconcat 'identity tasklist "\n"))
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This enables to get a table with a task per row. For each task, I get the TODO
keywork, the priority and a link to the corresponding section in my Org
buffer.

Here'a an example from one of my document:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+results: tasklist
| <c>       |        |
                                 |
| *WAIT*    | /[#C]/ | [[See if we have to filter the processes
against something else]]                |
| *WAIT*    | /[#C]/ | [[See if we have to filter the products against
something else than the branch]] |
| *STARTED* | /[#A]/ | [[Display static party questions block]]
                                 |
| *WAIT*    | /[#C]/ | [[Analyse the risk management screen]]
                                 |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is really great as each person can now have a quick overview of their
tasks and they just jave to click to get the details of the tasks!

The next step for me, would be to be able to sort this table against
priorities for instance.

If you think about a simple way of doing this, please let me know.

Regards,
Francesco
