The plan is to have a work field, which is the amount of man time needed
to complete the task, and duration, which is the actual duration
(duration minus weekends etc...) 

Duration relates to work in that it equals the amount of work divided by
the sum of the resource efforts.

In .92, this doesn't really work (it's not completely finished in CVS
either, yet).

You can press space to start editing mode. I'll look into making it
always focus the name after inserting a new task (now it focuses the
same column as before the task was inserted).

(I'm not sure this works in .92, but it does in CVS.)

Fixed in CVS.
