If people think that we should start editing when inserting a task, I
could do that. It's as simple as doing a s/FALSE/TRUE/ :) It's probably
a good idea. Do we have consensus?

That would be great!

The time table is pretty close the their resource usage view, I think.
We should think through what we want it to do before we do any massive
amount of hacking on the current code... I haven't looked that closely
at what it does.
