Turn the Task List into a kanban board
The current task manager is awesome, but hard to grok if there is a lot of items in the list. I believe we will need to enable the user to segment the tasks into as they like into groupings which may reflect (for example) workflow stages. TO make this even more readable and useful it would be very good to allow the groups to happen by creating vertical columns that can be named by the user to reflect their workflow. In this way we are effectively converting the current task manager into a kanban board (see trello).
We can then considering the form factor of tasks and designing them to look more like 'cards' (also as per trello).
Lastly, at a much later date we could use this format to populate user defined columns of 'cards' which would effectively reflect their to-dos. I am including two videos here of the Aperta system - IMHO these concepts are extremely powerful, and if we can move their in stages we would have a tremendously powerful paradigm for managing workflow.
