I ran into another possible solution for the request of seeing the first
X TODO tasks for a project in the Agenda:

Let's say I simply run an org-tags-todo query looking for :project:

The Agenda now shows this:

Project1
Project2
Project3

Another possible solution would be to simply TAB to one of the projects, and
run org-todo-list with the restriction on the current subtree.

I'm trying to find a way to create a function to do this . . . . . . I guess
a macro-like function would work

Thanks,
--Nate
