The Goo at Trexy.com

We are now starting to heavily rely on The Goo at Trexy.com. Lots of tasks, ideas, bugs, etc. have been filed into the Care[O]Meter. I can now see at a glance what's happening across all team members and what I need to do too. We are more productive, communication overhead is lower, and nothing is "falling off the radar".

I haven't used the "I feel like ..." functionality as much as I had hoped but this is because I have too many tasks with a high care factor! Maybe when the pace slows down feelings can come back into the equation? But will it ever? The harsh reality is, some tasks just need doing, whether you feel like it or not. Hmmm. I still want to design a human-friendly, task management system and emotions matter - more design coming soon.

The "strategic" and "tactical" functions of The Goo are working well but we have lost "operational" functions while migrating from the console-based Goo to the web/console-based Goo. I'm really missing the ability to view my current trail, traverse backlinks, automate Perl module making and test making. What am I going to do about this? Check out the Goo related tasks in my CareOMeter:
