Title:
  [6.1 trunk] [project] confusing features - improvement suggestions

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I would like to underline some confusing features in the [project]
  module/addon.

  1. Since a few revs, the Project->Project->Project menu changed to
  Project->Configuration->Project. I think that 'Configuration' menu
  items should be used for setting the meta-data (data about the data -
  types, categories, periods, &c.) and not for "real" data.

  2. Tasks hierarchy : there is a straightforward feature of parent-
  child relationship for tasks. However, the view lacks clarity:

  - for a parent task, the work done in a child task should be presented under the 'Work' tree maybe as:
  (child) task | summary | user_id and so on

  - for a child/independent task, the same should be seen, but without
  the task name (as is today). BTW, some info, as 'project' is
  redundant, as I see no use of listing tasks from different projects.

  - in the second tab (Delegations) two different concepts are mixed:
  hierarchy and delegations. While the first area (parent task) works as
  expected, I think the "delegated tasks' could be improved; there is no
  difference between 'delegated' and 'child' tasks. And it should be.

  The way I see 'hierarchy' - meaning a parent contains all children
  (parent work = sum of children work) shall also be differentiated from
  'dependency' meaning that one task depends on the completion of
  another (like delegated task - check).

  In the project module, 'delegation' contains 'dependency', however
  there is no way to set 'dependency' besides 'delegation'.

  To conclude, I think that:
  - parent task should be a real "container", which shall adapt / put constraints on its children (time, costs, &c.)
  - parent work should show sum of children work
  - 'Delegations' tab should be called 'hierarchy' and show only parent-child relationships (not 'delegated' tasks, even if today they are also children- why?? a delegated task changed its initial assignee, and an additional check task is dependent on its completion)
  - dependence (Start B if A is completed) should be available for any task not only for delegated-check pairs.
  - hierarchy, delegation and dependency are three different basic concepts which should be implemented separately in the module (and not as additional modules). 

  
  If this is not the right place for this, I do apologise in advance. 

  Thank you,
  Bogdan
