Shared tasks change notification

michal.pluta says:
Sharing the tasks is very useful, but any changes made by any of the participants are not noticeable enough.

I think there should be very visible info visible after login, that shared task "x" was modified by user "y".

That would enhance usability of shared / group tasks.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Thanks for the suggestion! We'd love to hear anything that we can do to improve sharing, so if there's anything else that would make this feature more useful, please let us know :)

also making a shared task complete should be approved by all..

I think it'd be great to have tracking for shared tasks; so and so added this note, changed this date... much like google docs. That would make Shared tasks more usable for me.

It would be really handy if shared task list would email you when somebody else updated a task (added notes, etc).

Same would be good if a task was added to a shared list as it would greatly enhance collaboration potential. The would be a fantastic professional service if available that many people I'm sure would pay for.

The little icon indicating that there is a note is good also, but at the same time there's no way to tell if there's a new note.

We (www.aiai.se) use rememberthemilk and we would love a way to see changes in shared list in someway.
Maybe through RSS, a search tag like changed (ex. changed:today), or presented at the Overview.

We could maybe solve it in house by comparing the Atom-feed from rememberthemilk at two time points with a cronscript, but that seems a bit ugly :)

We kind of need a feature like this to be able to RTM for real (and pay for it, of course).
We know you have a lot of request but limited time and money (we are developing a webapp too so we know how it is) and understand if this i low priority :)

Yes, I really like this idea. I've just started sharing tasks, but I didn't even realize someone shared a task with me until I went to look at my inbox. It would be especially nice to set up e-mail notifications for these changes (or twitter notices, or IMs, etc.). I often use RTM from a web app (gmail gadget) rather than from the website, so new tasks shared to my inbox are not always very visible if they don't have a near-future due date specified.

And it would be really useful to have notifications when there are changes to a shared task (new notes to the task, priority changes, etc.)

Or how about just being able to notify contacts on a specific shared task? Like if one had a question about the task. That sounds simpler and would be great, make it happen!

This idea is considered similar to "Notification emails (e.g. a new task is received, a shared task is completed or modified, etc)", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
