The current to-do list in Lightning is an implementation of the new <richlistbox> xul-element.  A richlistbox, however, does not support columns at all.  This means our options are:
1.) Hack/extend richlistbox to support columns
2.) Scrap the richlistbox in favor of a standard tree, a la Sunbird.

Option 1 is likely to be much harder than option 2.  However, if we could actually accomplish option 1, a whole world of possibilities would open up, given the vast flexibility of <richlistitem>s.  In-line editing is the most obvious.  Again, there are a lot of question marks here.  We need to pick a path to go down.

I started working on a nice, pretty xbl binding for lists/trees in calendar.  It's not finished yet though, and given current resources/timelines, I'm inclined to just try to write a shim to get Sunbird's task list into Lightning for the 0.1 release.  Opinions?

Sounds reasonable to me.

It'd be nice to have this for 0.1, but it's more important to ship something sooner, I think.

Moving bugs from Joey without a patch back to nobody, since Joey has basically left the project.
