	That would imply a level of commitment I can't be 100% behind -- 
you remember my biggets fault of course, is trying to be honest and 
upfront always ;) ie: If I put up a KS for $50k or whatever, and then got 
it, I sure as hell have to go and do it ;)

	I'd rather tool around, get a tech-demo together to prove some of 
the tech and see if people like the feal at all, and then go from there. 
Its mostly a matter of seeing if where I'd like to go is what people want, 
and if its possible. 

	Scoping worries me a lot -- theres so many lofty goals these days, 
but which are the true path that I would need .. what sort of web 
frontend? what sort of app on the mobiles, and what sort of app 
integration?

	ie: Most apps in iOS and 'droid app stores are standalone .. 
islands unto themselves, nice and easy; but the calendar apps and such, 
are really only useful if they tie into iOS (say) native DB, with sync up 
to iCloud. We've been that road before back 10 years ago of course... but 
its worse now -- do you also sync with google calendar? or any old ical 
davical type calendar? or to yahoo calendar? or no one? (and thats just 
calendar .. if we're doing Shadow linking like we did in the 'classic 
app', then we're ting into evferything ;)

	So rethinking from the ground up, need to find out what people 
need (whats the niche?), need to define what the application is within 
those needs, and how best to serve.

	For my part, my needs are simple .. I like simple fast 
hierarchical task lists, and I like to be able to sync some of those items 
into my calendar..

	.. and babies are up, time to run/rum ;)
