Brain Murmurs

We’re moving back towards a focus on updating the Mentat website now that we’ve got a few mobile/desktop Mentat-empowered clients under our belt (Mentat Blackberry, Aria, Arioso). Today we compiled a list of feature requests and began prioritizing what we felt was most dire in building out and improving upon. This is what we came up with:

1. Contexts - As a GTD cornerstone, this looks to be a number one priority for our customers. We’re working on this one first and already have some functionality prototyped. With this feature, you will be able to lump tasks across projects into specific “contexts” such as “emails to write” or “phone calls” so that you can blast off otherwise unrelated tasks all at once.

2. Third Party Agenda Tasks - With the introduction of Aria, Mac OS X users can have access to both their Mentat and Fogbugz tasks. We’ll be building in support for generic third-party tasks and adding the ability to include them in your Mentat agenda.

3. Subprojects - Since the dawn of Mentat, we’ve been wanting to include this. Now is the time.

4. Email to Mentat - We’ll be adding the ability for users to use their email to create and respond to tasks in Mentat.

We’re still taking product suggestions, so feel free to drop by the forum and let us know what you’d like to see next in Mentat.
