google calendar sync +1 (in default google task calendar ?)

Agree with everyone voting for a calendar feature that allows you to visualize how the workload of tasks is distributed across the coming weeks/months. ("What does the list of tasks for next Friday look like? Can I fit this task in, too, or not?") Ability to drag and drop into the calendar would be an added bonus.

What would be helpful for me is:
- Ability to reszie projects/tasks in calendar planner/scheduler view, based on start/end times
- View by day, week, month
- Show urgency, importance and dependencies
- Synch with Google Calenda or iCal -

Perhaps it can be an installable option like wi-fi sync. Then it will keep the people who don't want it happy - they just dont install it. Options are good - decisions made on behalf of the masses, bad...

Look at toodledo calendar,,, This thing has the crappiest, featureless incarnation of a calendar, It took about 2 man/hours to program, and that's one of the reason I'm not moving over to MLO.
Get a clue for F sake !

MLO is a really beautiful product and i'll share it with my collegues, but...without a calendar is futile...! i've created a new suggestion (http://mlo.uservoice.com/forums/9235-general/suggestions/2108273-a-great-calendar-in-3-steps?ref=title). my ideas to make a great calendar are:
step 1) create two types of Context: LOCATION, PEOPLE
step 2) add two type of Goal: SPECIFIC DATE, SPECIFIC MEETING
step 3) create a calendar where days are rappresenting by two colums: one for location, one for people. tasks automatically appear here if they are 'goaled' for this day, and they are grouped by location and people. we can also drag&drop groups (location and people) inside their column, in order to organize schedules
hope it helps

I do not want to sound evangelical, but with reference to Tobias's comment, anything but Google or MS Outlook.
The world will have two rulers soon, MS and Google. Lets keep at least some of our lives out of the reach of these seekers for world domination.
For users of mobile devices most will have perfectly adaequate default applications that could be tailored. Better still the MLO team could generate their own -

if possible at all, integration with google calendar

I want visualization of my tasks in a gantt style view that utilizes dependencies, start dates, and end dates. It should allow tasks to be adjusted by simply dragging them.

I agree with the notion of telling me "when this will happen" based upon time constraints is useful. It's also useful if I give MLO my To Do, the priority for each, and a time estimate for each one, that it could give me a rough agenda.
Seriously, just pop over to the To Do page, mark my "quitting time" as 5:00 PM, and then have MLO tell me what I'm going to be doing and when for the rest of the day.
Without tying something that needs to be done with when it's going to happen in reality, it remains a pretty soft science. The moment something is actually on the calendar/clock as to when you've said it will happen, the likelihood that it will happen in the near term skyrockets.
I'm not saying it needs to be Microsoft Project level planning-- but getting an agenda of my week seems really doable.

I think the Calendr is the biggest thing missing from MLO. I would imagine that the MLO team would be able to develop extensive tailoring of content and display. Perhaps each day could be tabbed to allow seperate display of apointments/tasks-filtered by Context/Mini Tasks i. e phone calls (linked to contacts. This would be a great benefit on 'phone applications.

I would like a multiday column (one for each weekday and one for undated) List View similar to Teux Deux, sortable by priority & start/due time.
My preference would be to sort thus: Untimed High priority tasks before timed tasks (& limited open contexts), the rest of the untimed tasks after. Ideally this would be customizable by the user.
An indicator of task duration vs. available time or pomodori would be very helpful, too.
Ability to drag and drop to reschedule days would be key. -

I have voted for it, but agree with other commentators that I don't want an appointment callendar. What I want is the ability:
(1) to set in options somewhere the number of hours (or pomodori) that I can commit to tasks in any week (or day or month)
(2) to view the hours (or pomodori) that are already committed (b/c of deadlines) and how much uncommitted time I have left for the week (or day or month)
(3) to view the next undated tasks that I can get done this week (or day or month)

I wish that I could use one of my votes to vote against this idea. The "items due in the next 10 days" view gives me the information I need. I have had trouble with calendar views of tasks in the past because every day gets the same sized box. Some days are empty while others (like the last day of every quarter) have many times over too many tasks to fit.

Big no to calendar for fixed appointments. Most people will have Outlook or equivalent that is used at their workplace.
I would most value a calendar feature that: (1) displays upcoming actions with due dates by day (ie fixed actions), and (2) allows you to plan your week by assigning tasks to dates without actually giving them an MLO due date.

How about sync MLO with Gmail as an interim solution?
Advantages:
* simple API publicly available
* cloud already there for you free of charge
* google calendar mature and can be accessed from anywhere
* connectors available from gcal to most desktop clients, all OS
* connectors available for most mobile phones (inc Symbian which doesn't have MLO client planned)
* integrates into your current calendar for appointments outside of MLO
* contacts can be imported into MLO so you do not have to retype in all contact details for the upcoming "Assign to" MLO feature
* tasks can be synced between MLO and primitive task managers built into other mobile devices and desktop clients (flat list can be synced via a custom MLO view)Disadvantages:
* not everybody trusts their personal information to pass through Google
* features will be limited by gcal, so calendar view will not have level of customisation MLO users are used toAdmittedly it is a temporary fix, but will be very convenient for a LOT of people. Plus it should only take a few days to write. Here is some example code to push Exchange diary dates to Gcal:

The primary function I like about this, is to set my available time to work on stuff. (appointments decrease the available time), so that I can see how much I can probably get done in a week.
I've seen other programs that actually plan the agenda for you, but I'm not sure I would like that. Because it will have to integrate with outlook even more, or you have to plan your appointments 2 times.
So for me it's just an indication, what time do you have left and what can you do in that time.
One must is that this feature must have the option to be disabled. But it will probably, I love the way you can turn everything on and off in MLO.
