Just wondering why it has been so quiet here lately.
Maybe this is the time of year when people in the Northern hemisphere are busy preparing for their summer vacations and people in the Southern hemisphere are busy stocking up piles of food for the long, hard winter ;-)
Or maybe the minor shortcomings of the new forum software was all it took for people to abandon ship? The drop in activity seems to have coincided with the switchover.
Or maybe there was just too much philisophizing over the same old questions over and over? Same questions; same answers; same standpoints; nothing new.
One "big" question that I would like to find an answer to is whether it would be possible for the David Allen company and the forum users here to crystallize a set of very clear requirements and "anti-requirements" (dos and don'ts) both for app developers and for the very interpretation of DA's principles and guidelines. It seems to me that both for better and for worse these guidelines are quite flexible and customizable, often "entry-level", and leave a lot of room for debate on details, enhancements and other unclarities. This debate is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but is definitely quite repetitive. A clear and authoritative detailed guideline by David Allen and/or this community might help speed up the development of even more precise task management practices and also of new apps that truly suit these practices.
