[Design] Re: Task to do with start and due date?

[Mimi Yin]

Fwding conversation with Edmund to the list... (Read from the bottom  
up for context :)

Hi Edmund,

Not sure I'm following you. When the alarm go off and/or if an event  
date/time passes, the item is automatically changed from LATER to  
NOW. Is that the functionality you're looking for?
