task series

[johagge]

One might have todos every week or month like homework. It would be nice to be able to have the todo show up on it's own each week / month.

After having resolved #56, (finite) recurring tasks could be modeled by creating all tasks at once setting the proper start date.

An elegant approach to this issue would be the creation of a series of tasks at once. A simple pattern for the task names (e.g., containing a placeholder replaced by a counter) could be used; in addition, the start dates of the tasks would be within a specified distance to each other.

However, usability problems with regards to the update of such task series (e.g., moving all tasks from a series into the future/past etc) remain to be evaluated.

In the current implementation of sequences, i run into the issue that every task is marked with "misses deadline" because of a missed deadline of the first occurrence.
