That’s my problem too. Now I need to figure out what to put in my list. :)

Then you can create a virtual tab based on that tagname and voilà: an overview of the tasks for that project :) If it's just a one-off project, just creating an extra (temporary) tab for it is probably easier and doesn't "dirty" your list of tags.

Too bad Prism doesn't support extensions yet, because I was using that for gmail (and rememberthemilk :P). I guess it's back to using Flock for gmail.. (I like to keep it separated because Fx likes to crash on gmail for me) I hope they will make it possible to resize the task list in the future - it's quite a bit too small for me right now and affects readability of the tasks. Especially on a wide screen I don't see why they wouldn't make use of all that space.

In addition I always find PC to do lists a bit crap anyway, as it means I have to be constantly checking my PC to see what to do next which is rubbish when out of the house.
