Haven't had time to get my head round this but haven't had a quick look at the article and what Omnifocus does, I have to say that I really like the 'Forecast' concept that Omnifocus is looking to implement. This is essentially what I want from the 'calendar' functionality that we have talked about at great length. ie: something that looks a few days ahead and allows you to see/plan/manage up coming commitments, deadlines. etc.
The problem with the term 'Calendar' is that it means so many different things to different people. Perhaps from now on I will use the the term 'forecast' to describe what I am looking for.
