This is a very nice idea.

I shouldn't be counted on to produce code on short timescales... :-)  I'm 
pretty much out of commission for the next 2-3 weeks, with a conference, 
workshop, etc...

Well, maybe I should be more specific.  What happens right now if I type:
M-x planner-create-task<ret>
Test Task<ret>
2005.August<ret>
PersonalTaskPool<ret>

is that the task ends up in PersonalTaskPool, but with no link to any 
other page in the task description.  Also 2005.August doesn't contain the 
task.

I'd also like planner-copy-or-move-task and planner-replan-task to do the 
right thing when I enter 2005.August.Week1 as the new date for the task.

Ideally, the command plan would also automatically sweep tasks from 
2005.August.Week1 to 2005.August.Week2 at the beginning of the next week, 
but that's gravy.  If I've really scheduled only my two or three biggest 
priorities for the week/month/whatever, then sweeping them forward myself 
is no big deal.

Thanks for the feedback on this,
Greg
