I have to say that I'm a bit worried if org-mode goes in this direction.
Just because Carsten may be able to beat it into shape to do this
(albeit in very elegant lisp), it doesn't mean he should.
org-mode developed as a means of maintaining lists, and it excels at
this. Just because the GTD methodology uses the term Project doesn't
mean that we should turn org-mode into a fully fledged project planning
application. If you need project planning capability, then you probably
need all the bells and whistles that go with it - GANT and PERT charts,
critical path calculations, multi-user capabilities etc.
My concern is that *very* few people need that type of functionality,
and if you do, there are now some very good applications now under
GNU/Linux to choose from.
org-mode is a superb PIM and list manager (in my view, probably about
the best there is). Just because we have one incredible hammer, let's
not start seeing everything else as a nail!
Just a personal viewpoint of course. :-)
