#95 Link Serializable tasks
I've found that I have several tasks that depend on
getting others done
before I can start them (example: task 1= "write draft
procedure" task
2="get comments on procedure" task 3="get approval on
procedure" : I
don't need reminding about task 2 until task 1 is
completed, and don't
need reminding on task 3 until 2+3 are done.
I would think that if I could define the due date for a
task as being
'n' days after completion of another task.
Part of the problem is that I've been linking some of the
tasks to the
ToDo list, so I can quickly look at that, and have an
easy reminder on
the top 3-4 tasks.

I agree that this is important, but it will be tricky, since
sometimes the tasks are not cleanly end to end. Often the
followon tasks must start before the previous tasks is fully
complete. "Hiding" tasks until the prior prerequisite task is
complete could be dangerous.
Here's a related idea to think about: I find that one task is
often loosely related to another, or when I finish one task I
realize that another task needs to be undertaken ie not
necessarily direct dependency, but rather related or triggering.
For the sake of clarity, it would be interesting to allow
jumping between tasks, so that the user can trace through
how one task is related to previous tasks.
