Hmmmm,
of course everything is possible. The problem I see is how to
implement this in a general way so that it will be useful to many
people with slightly or strongly different ways of getting things done
with Org-mode. For example, if I understand you correctly, you
consider a project OK if it has a TODO keyword, or a context tag.
Other people might require TODO together with a context tag, because
when they mark the entry done they do not want to remove the context
tag. Furthermore, you would have to have a way to specify the relevant
context tags, so that Org-mode could find them and ignore other tags
used for a different purpose. Etc Etc.
So if anyone has an idea on how a general concept of vet'ing a project
would look like, in addition to what Tim has proposed, please come
forward.

Thinking of next actions this morning while cycling to work, made me
wonder if it is possible to vet your org mode outlines.
By vet, I mean check for consistency. For example, in my case, asking
agenda to give me a list of projects that have actions associated with
them that are not next actions. I use the concept of :proj: tag to
denote a project (an idea which i thank whomever is stole it from), I
then use the TODO types to denote next action, and possibly other
context tags.
An example would be:
* Org Project :proj:
This is an example of an ok project
*** 10 This is a next action - email about blah :email:
*** TODO This is an untimed next action to consider purple.
* Stuck Project :proj:
This is an example of a stuck project. No next actions though some
tasks.
*** Should i nuke the site from orbit? it *is* the only way to be sure.
*** check the batteries on the cargo lifter?
*** check out the APC
* unthought about Project :proj:
I don't even have next actions for this project :(
I would like to be able to highlight up the 'stuck project' and the
'unthought about project' automagically during my morning review.
What do you think?
Tim.
