I am using kGTD now, but we haven't heard from Ethan for a while; which is fine, because it's freeware, and he's not obliged. However, I'd be more than willing to have the idea professionally developed and sustained for those of us who want such a paradigm, without having to do the whole gnatt chart thing. OmniPlan: organizations; OmniGTD: individuals. Hope it comes about.

Since I moved to the MAC about two years ago I have been looking for an acceptable replacement for my old task management system. The GTD concept is awesome. Kudos to Ethan and Merlin's work trying to make these concepts a reality for us. Since I've been introduced to GTD I understand that the OLD task management system I used would no longer be considered acceptable to me. So, while you are entertaining suggestions and requests... Pretty please... I think I’ll skip the guessing and go straight to the begging.

That's a bucket of paint and the yellow thing is some kind of canvas. At least I hope it would be some kind of Photoshop killer. That would rock. Especially for us MacTel users.

I love it. Regarding a GTD app - I love Kinkless 0.83, and would love a native app that was similar and not beholden to the strange side effects that various settings can inflict upon the KGTD applescript code. With the black OMNI bit in the icon looking like the base of an inkwell (I'm drowning in inks lately, so everything may be starting to look like an inkwell), I also started thinking of a OneNote style application... inkwell, Inkwell... well..! As much as I love OmniOutliner, there are some aspects of OneNote that I really like - namely combination of a free-form page with lots of outlining bits. It's more like a natural notebook in that you can write anywhere, but takes advantage of computer features (indexing, referencing, bla bla bla). I like the combination of the text/outlining features with the ability to quickly lay out a page visually. Curio is the closest thing I've seen to this on the Mac, but it's list/outline feature is really sub-par compared to OmniOutliner or OneNote... So yeah! How about a really sick and twisted combination of OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner?! 'OmniGrout! Gets stains out!' I'm tired.. I'm just interested that some people made a OneNote connection too. I'd also be damn happy with a project management tool. I did a quick evaluation of available mac tools recently (after we were unable to really visually timescales and relationships with a big plan made in OmniOutliner), and I was disappointed with what I found. “OmniBaffle” (said Travis, way up there towards the top).

Or, my second guess would be more of a OneNote-like app, but that would just be odd with OO sitting right there with its orange icon.
