Yes, TaskCoach is cluttered; Well, the quick-add feature is a must. I was talking about the way you mark tasks as done, dismiss and make subtasks; There are currently four ways to mark a task as done: through File>, from the toolbar, with a right click and CTRL+D. This IS clutter. And the same same can be said for other features as well.

Here are some additional mockups on Github: https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups

I suggest:

1- Doing things like the GNOME design team i.e. gathering information about similar programs on other platforms and see what the "other guys" are doing right.

2- Make use of existing GNOME technologies and tools (e.g. GNOME Online Accounts for importing information and GNOME Shell integration). I know goa is limited to Google right now, I think you have a better knowledge of what should be used and how.

3- Be in-sync with the GNOME project, that means anticipating the upcoming features and make plans for them. For instance, if the GNOME guys are thinking about getting rid of Evolution and making separate applications for the Calendar, Mail client...we shouldn't be wasting time working on how we should integrate GTG better with Evolution.(this will involve asking them directly for their plans)

That's all for now,
