Feature Request: The New Basecamp

* The ability to “Star” tasks and have them show up in a central place on the Dashboard (i.e. tasks I’m going to do today vis a vis GTD)
* Toggle-able, searchable, inherent Priority tab on every task (with custom priority levels) aka tags for to-do’s
Also:
* Drag-able content on the “Me” page, as well as
* Saving the last state of the To Do’s drop down select on page refresh/reload
* The pop up for the due date / assignee should not disappear in between selecting the two of those. (This makes 4 clicks for setting both, instead of 3…)

Panic Fail: Transmit-Coda shortcut sharing/syncing.

Well, Panic can’t really FAIL, because they’re so awesome, but c’mon guys, this would be a great time saving feature!
Of course, they don’t have anything to lose, since I’m already such a rabid fan that I’ll automatically buy the new version of whatever they put out, but c’mon guys…

The New Basecamp: Y’all Fix This Now

Dear Basecamp,
The new Basecamp is great, and I know you are working on the upgrading process. A couple things that would be nice are
(1) An option to de-privatize all “Private” items in a projects, in lieu of a method of being able to import them.
(2) An option to notify All Users of a project when it is imported.
I find myself manually doing these two steps on each project that I do import, because not having Private items in the new version is not a deal-killer for most projects (the loop-in feature neatly replaces most of the need for this, although they are do not fit exactly the same scenarios), and everybody does have to be notified when the project moves 
although I appreciate that it is not automatic.
Thank you!
UPDATE 20120424-Tue
It would also be very nice to have a one-click import for all eligible projects. It takes a while to go in and click on each one, and wait, and click, and so on.
UPDATE 2012-05-07 Mon
Everything’s migrated except one project… Where I’ve gone through and looked and looked for that last tricky Private item and haven’t found it yet. Aaargh…

This is one of the first things I found myself doing on this new install of OS X Lion:

Also:

And I did have to follow the directions found in a comment in Apple’s AppStore (of all places) to get it linked properly:
