[Zope] Re: Hierarchical content

[Greg Gehrich]

The overhead the user has to incur to create subtasks.

If folders are used to create the hierarchy, the user must first create 
a folder to hold the subtasks for "Pick up cleaning" and then enter the 
two subtasks.  I'd rather just directly create a subtask because that 
eliminates the step to create a folder.

Viewing will also be cleaner because you never the a folder obscuring 
the subtasks.
