That would be nice indeed, and cause less confusion in the user/developer using DebGTD :) > The rule of thumb should be something like this: for each > bug, if you can complete the bug in under two minutes, do > so, otherwise, record what the next action on the bug needs > to be (such as: confirm this still happens, check to see if > it's reported upstream, etc.) and move onto the next bug.

(I suspect that sorting on > "next action" would be useful if e.g. you wanted to do a > batch of "confirm this still happens"-style work in one > go...) I believe a "double sorting" would be good.

I believe it's a good workflow, and it probably just needs some time to get used to it. I never applied GTD, and wanted to start by using DebGTD for my Debian work :) So, you're really asking a newbie here ;) Kindly, David -- . ''`.
