GTDing in couple

Hi all ,
I've been trying to get back on track with GTD -this time using Tracks ,and doing OK so far.

My husband would like to use GTD as well ,so we've started wonedering whats the best way of partially uniting our implementation -since at least part of the projects are joint ,but part of them aren't? (Let's say we have a joint project of installing AC in the bedroom ,but some of the tasks are mine ,some his -and some are for whomever have the time)

How /which app will be most useful to manage things in partially joint-partially separated way ?

Thanks :)

If you figure out how...

If you figure out how you'd *like* for this to work in Tracks, let me know. We're interested in expanding the multi-user capabilities, but am not sure how best due that while keeping it simple and GTD-ish.

I've been thinking of something like shared/private projects/contexts etc ,where when defining each project -or maybe when registering (I'm using hosted Tracks) ,one can set up with whom he'd like to be able to share.

So the main idea is -when creating a project one can decide it's shared or private ,and if it's shared then both users can view/change/complete actions . This of course means that a username should be added to every action so that it can be easily seen that someone else edited a project ,etc.
Perhaps more permissions should be considered ,such as having a "lead user" for each project so that only she can add items -so that there is sort of "project owner" and the other user/s can complete actions but not add them (doesnt sound too nice somehow :))

I've been using Tracks for couple of days now and am enjoying it very much :), (Tried Next Action and GTD Tidly wiki before that ) thanks for a great app .

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
