Yes, this would be really usefull. Currently working on a project with multiple people and i dislike giving up on todoist because it doesn't offer simple support to share my list with multiple users...
I am interested in this as well. I recently started a project that I'm working on with someone else. Would be great if we could just both view the project details in a shared Todoist project (maybe just open up the access to myself and other person's account or something.) +1
Sharing tasks and projects is essential. One of the world's mega-trends is towards loosely organized, collaborative, global workgroups, ranging from corporate annual meetings to community turkey dinners. As much as I would like to use the application, without the ability to share, Todoist is simply not useful in day-to-day work with others. There's no way to delegate or track progress.
The last three votes I made before signing in (just so they'll be counted), I won't vote again. I think that being able to share personal projects would be a great feature. Personally, I would be to use todoist exclusively for all my personal and work project needs.
I love the simplicity of todoist. I don't think you sacrifice the simplicity when you give it the ability to track team projects. You merely create a master todoist list for your project that somehow feeds into individual lists of people contributing to the project. Thus, you can work efficiently on group projects and plan your time efficiently. Our non-profit needs this desperately.
I don't think this should only be a paid-subscriber-only feature. I am not privy to your business model, but if necessary then have some kind of business licensing model for commercial usage, but please allow normal users to also use this. I have 6 people in my family and would love to share a task/project list based on todoist with everyone, just like we share google calendars.
I agree that sharing a project (in a manner analogous to sharing a Google calendar) would be a clean and simple approach to this. I'm thinking standardizing on Todoist for my small company (we currently have a mishmash that includes Outlook, Basecamp, RTM, and Todoist) - this is one feature that makes Basecamp really useful. This would be a good candidate for a paid-subscriber-only feature.
This is totally at the top of my list! I'm currently using todoist to manage tasks in a small academic computer lab and while I love the interface I miss some of the basic sharing features we gave up when we migrated from Backpack. Even just being able to share the list with a group of people and having multiple possible email reminder destinations would be great.
I must agree with MDodson, this would be beneficial. Maybe provide a setting to turn this feature on and off to not bloat Todoist visually, and to offer users a better collaboration option behind the scenes
The opportunity to share my projects with others is handy. Several people collaborating on a project motivates the users to continue to make progress. I continue to use RTM for those projects, but would love to be completely dependent on Todoist.
Simply adding the ability to share at the project level would would be enough for me to leave my Wrike account behind. I agree that it can be implemented in a way that it doesn't complicate the UI for users who don't need to share.
I like this idea - the ability to share lists/projects wouldn't impact those who don't want to use this feature, but would take Todoist to a whole new level for those of us that see the need for collaboration as important (it's the reason why I still use RTM in my office).
We use a Task Management sys for projects. Todoist allows me much greater freedom to organize myself and housekeeping tasks for myself & others on the team. These tasks do not warrant overpopulating our formal/client task sys. Beside, Todoist is a lot easier to use!
That said I would love to be able to share/allocate/assign entries to team members rather than the current printout and deliver.
@tomwill: If the collaboration are implemented in a the way that other features in Todoist are implemented I don't think it will be a case of being forced into a system. If implemented, there are ways that can leave it very open, flexible, and optional.

My group already uses todoist as project management.
We all access the same account. Our group leader adds tasks for us and we check them off as we complete them.

I believe it's hard work, but it's worth, case can make ToDoIST much more popular.
I think opensource developers are able to make tools for synchronizing ToDoIST lists using todoist API.
