Add task state "skipped"
There should be a way to skip a single task, and also a way to skip all missed occurrences of a task up to the present time.
I often have tasks that would be ideal to do daily, but are low priority. If I miss a week's worth, it is inconvenient to go back and mark them
as completed one at a time so that the task isn't overdue.
Here's the original poster's idea, which i completely agree with:
On weekly recurring taks like a meeting I would like to habe the option to skip this task instead of marking it completed. Currently the second option is to delete the task and set up a new one, or to modify the start date. Neither one does fit. If completed and skipped recurring taks would show up in the task list, there could be a feature that shows the success rate in percent. That would be awesome.Thanks.

Otherwise, to skip recurring tasks, you can just mark them complete and they won’t stay complete, they will be set instead to recur. I use a composite task called “daily” and put all my daily stuff in there, and whether or not I did everything, when I mark “daily” itself done, the whole set recurs as I want for the next day. (note that this setup has only the composite task set to recur, and that makes the subtasks recur automatically, as long as the subtasks have planned start times set)

looks very similar to this feature request:
http://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26465-desktop-version-windows-linux-mac-of-task-coach/suggestions/1145153-mark-task-as-cancelled-?ref=titleI'm thinking we should vote for the cancel feature instead.

Actually i created a category for this kind tasks canceled or skipped and sort tasks tagged as ongoing or pending or canceled. But anyway it would be more convenient if taskcoach has that function.
