What rules does your themes CSS apply on < label > ?
And on < LI > and < UL > and < FORM > ?

You should also look at the “Role Manager” plugin and the “Category Visibility” plugin. Together they are a powerfull combo. Role Manager lets you define groups of readers if you want (like public, member, inner circle or public, friends, family…) , and Category Visibility lets you decide what they see.

I know that this works for a small organization, but people are probably using this kind of solution to private blogs, too. I would if I were a private blogger.

Haven’t you been here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Restriction ?

Look at the alternatives, then install Democracy 2, and let us participate in a fun poll. It might(?) give you some sort of idea of the popularity of these. Or then not.

You want to ask the maker of Event Calendar 3 to include an location field. http://wpcal.firetree.net/

… and a notes field, that could be used to store the artist, the participant, or some other info that users need…

The author name might be a good thing too. WE don’t NEED it for anything, but it is nice to know who added a task. Just in case there is something unclear about the task, and one needs to ask… And beeing responsible for the tasks one submit, is A Good Thing in collaborative blogs, as anonymity would make it easier to flood the list with stupid tasks 🙂

Due time? Hmm… I can see that some people might benefit from that. You should maybe implement the widget first, then priorization/notes/sorting, then due time.

You might want to create a complete table with many many fields that you can activate later. This would minimize the need of risky database table structure changes. Someone will ask for some advanced feature anyway, and it is fun if you only need to use 5 sec to “enable” it instead of redesigning the database and program logic. So, put a bit more db fields and selection/sorting features in the code than you initially publish…

I hope that I will never see:

The MTH-DD-YYYY date format is just presentation, right? Not the actual data written to the database field?

1) The category, timestamp and posted by are created by some of your themes scripts (yourtheme/post.php, yourtheme/footer.php, …). Find that place.

2) Add an if-then-statement. Something like if $the_ID is not something, then print timestamp etc. Look here for template tags: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags

The syntax is something like < ? php if ( condition ) action : else_something ? >

Someone else will be able to tell you exactly how that is done.
