Sub-Projects within a Project
Nathan
via web
I have a really large project that I'd like to divide it into smaller projects. Being able to have Sub-Projects within a project would be very useful to me.

This feature has been requested by many of us to include myself. I just can't think of any reason for not having sub-projects.

Agree with both of you. I actually think it's a necessity.

Totally agreed. This one would be more helpful to me than recurring tasks, which is still a priority.

Another vote YES for sub-projects!

@Candeshouse,
I also agree that sub-projects are more important to me than recurring task. I can always use Google Calendar as a reminder system but I can't find a good way to handle sub-projects.

I'd like to expand on this as I'm finding it a pretty important feature.
I have a AoF called @blogging with projects for weblogs I'd like to create. Here's how I imagine the flow of information to be:
@bloggging
Project - Blog about Cars
Sub-project - Blog Categories:
Car Parts
Custom Car Stuff
Car News
Car Maintenance
Sub-project - Design and Development
Choose theme
Develop car aggregator plugin
Design Header
Design Footer
Sub-project - Traffic and Promotion
Pay per click
Organic SEO
Forum marketing
Article marketing
Yes I can use tags for some of this but eventually it would be impractical and because of the use of tags for other areas and tasks the tags list can get quite large.
As an aside, I would prefer tags to be in a hidden drop down in alphabetical order. I can imagine over time the possibility of over 100 tags and maybe more which would make a tag cloud impractical and unusable.
Let's also not forget the importance of Sub-Tasks. Each task above can have many sub-tasks. If I'm missing something and sub-tasks are available please let me know.
Sub-Projects I think will play a major role in getting my online businesses for myself and my clients organized and kept on track. I think this is a major feature and needs to be implemented as soon as feasible for the developers.

I keep checking back with Nirvana to see if you have added subprojects yet. I can't use it until this happens. I'm anxiously awaiting that moment, because I really really like Nirvana otherwise.

This would be really useful for me to break down some of my larger work related projects into equivalent chunks to my 'Tidy the House' project. With no sub-projects while using Nirvana, I'm forced to treat both of them as equally dense which isn't particularly practical.
