Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgable about Python, which is WikidPad's programmng language, so I haven't had much success hacking it. In terms of daily use, I set up a separate page for each project and list the NextActions on them along with their context. Example: <strong>todo.phone:</strong> <em>next action that can be done at the telephone here</em> I also recently started putting the project name at the top of the page so that it shows up in the projects node in the tree view. Example: <strong>project:</strong> <em>project name here</em> When doing my weekly review, I actually start two instances of WikidPad. I set one of them to show the auto-generated NA list, and use the other one for navigating around and editing. I frequently use alt-F to launch the find window, then search on what I'm looking for. This is not perfect, but it's smooth enough that I still feel productive. Good luck! Thanks for your interest, Stuart.

I have been fiddling with WikidPad for a few days now, trying to get it to do what I want it to do. I think it's a brilliant programme, and by coincidence I found it whilst in the middle of reading GTD too. I posted a question to the discussion list yesterday - but I think you are one of the people who have shared your WikidPadHooks file on the list. I'm struggling with figuring out how to format a NextActions page so that I can see all actions grouped under project heading, and each action appears on a separate line when sent to html so that I can print it out. Have you any ideas what I need to do? I'm not a programmer, so don't really know what to do - the best I can do is copy other people's code into files! Thanks for any help you can offer.
