I do not know, if I am talking for most users and I also do not know your 
priority list, but from my point of view, there is one "most wanted" feature 
(I am waiting for - for a long time) - resources planning:
When I create some tasks and add only one man to do them, KPlato doesn't care 
about working hours of this one man. For example, I create two tasks, with 8 
hours effort each. If these tasks do not depend on each other, KPlato says 
that this one man should perform them simultaneously and therefore esitmated 
end of project is not in 24 hours, but 8 hours.
