[POLL] Different face for 'stuck projects'

[POLL] Different face for 'stuck projects'

[Leo]

Dear all,

I'd like your opinions on making 'stuck projects' display with a
different face. Do you think this is a good idea?

My reason:

I often collect projects through _remember_ and then process them by
assigning a date or context, however that means stuck projects will mix
with unstuck projects. This change can make it easier to identify stuck
projects.

Best,

I'd guess identifying stuck projects may be too much work to be done
continually as fontification is, given that the rules for identifying a
stuck project may be quite complex.

In my workflow, I only need to identify stuck projects when doing a
weekly review, so the agenda view works fine for me.  I don't worry
about stuck projects being mixed in with my other projects the rest of
the time, since they won't produce anything that will show up in my
agenda searches.

Yes, i also think the process of checking for stuck projects should not
be automated, it seems better to me if it relies on some decision - you
know, the kind of things that is more likely to trigger an action :)

If you still want to check for stuck projects dynamically, why not hook
`org-agenda-list-stuck-projects' somewhere?
