I thought about some org-depend improvements to take it to the next
level.

Since many Org-mode users do not know or use org-depend.el, I
decided to write a blog post about it and how improvements can easy
my digital life:

Some improvements are probably solved with a few lines of Elisp code.
Unfortunately, I am very bad at coding Elisp myself and thus can't
extend Emacs the way I would love to.

For discussion purposes, I now append the improvements as separate
mailinglist emails here as well:


5 Improvement: Canceled Tasks Do Cancel Their Dependencies as Well
==================================================================

  Wouldn't it be nice to have a general setting (or a property?) whether
  or not I want to handle canceled tasks differently as tasks marked as
  done?

  Imagine the example from above. Does it really make sense to send an
  offer when I canceled the ask-client task? Many people probably would
  love to cancel all follow-up workflow tasks as well.
