Just a quick note about a very cool Task list package that I've been using for a while now - ToDoList from Abstract Spoon.

This is a great little tool - first off it's freeware, so that always helps. Second - it's simple. It's not trying to be eveything to everyone, an integrate with other stuff. It's just a task list, done right. That said, it has some nice features:
  • Contains multiple task lists (i.e. different projects)
  • Task priority, due date, est to complete
  • RTF task description / comments area - which can contain graphics  - very hepful for tracking bugs
  • Task timer - see how long it actually took you - helps  improve estimation
  • Ability to share task lists (file share only from what I can see)
  • Written in .NET UPDATE Matt pointed out that it's C++. Not sure why I assumed it was .NET
Anyhow, it's been really handy to track tasks as we wait to migrate over to Team System
(more on Team System another time...)

I too have been using this tool for maybe a year now and I love it. You mention it's written in .NET however, I find it's only available as c++ code. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Matt,

You are correct - I had thought it was .NET, but I downloaded the code today to look at extending it, and saw it was all C++.
