Last few day pages. Note that typing (yyyy.mm.dd) after a task does
not automatically copy it over to the day page. This might be
something we could fix in the future, but I have no idea how to get it
to work nicely at this moment. C-c C-c does wonders for such tasks.

Load planner-tasks-overview.el and use M-x
planner-tasks-overview-show-summary to get the number of unfinished
(scheduled/unscheduled) tasks and completed tasks in your task pages.

Yes, emacs-wiki-discuss is such a wonderful list. I get tons of ideas
off it. <grin>

Looking forward to hearing more from you. =)
