The new version, <a href="http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Dynamic+Tasklist+2" rel="nofollow">Dynamic Tasklist 2</a>, lets you assign a task to someone, see who tasks are assigned to, see the date a task is created, and mark it high, medium, or low priority. Here's the feature list from the plugin page: <ul> <li><strong>Complete/uncomplete:</strong> You can click the red x icon to make a task as complete. Once a task has been marked as complete, the red x icon will change to a checkbox. Click the checkbox again to mark the item as uncompleted.</li> <li><strong>Edit:</strong> You can edit a task by clicking on the directly on the task name. The Text will become editable. Make you change and press return to save.</li> <li><strong>Delete:</strong> Click the trash-can icon to delete a task.</li> <li><strong>Expand:</strong> You can click the arrow icon to expand the task details.</li> <li><strong>Priority:</strong> You can change the priority of the task by clicking on the "Priority" link. The priorities will cycle through High, Medium and Low.</li> <li><strong>Assignee:</strong> You can change the assignee of the task by typing in a username.</li> <li><strong>Dates:</strong> This view shows the date the task was created, and the the date the task was completed, if it has been.</li> <li><strong>Lock:</strong> You can click the lock icon to prevent the task from being edited, deleted, or otherwise changed.</li> </ul> You can also edit the contents of the list manually by editing the wiki page where it resides. BTW, even though I used the tasklist plugin for my demo, one could just keep the action items list on a wiki page without use of any plugins. Either way, using a wiki is better than trying to manage it all over email! Cheers, Stewart Wim,

I like to see who needs to do it and by when. Too bad that task list cannot be expanded to that via an option.
