Thanks for the reply! I will continue writing code and developing the project. And when I'm done, nobody will need any of those non-free project/task/todo management tools.
I'm writing it in C++ using gtkmm for GUI. Currently its functionality is more or less what GTG offers, but with the advantage of fast graph algorithms (because I write in C++ compared to Python) and very high level of modularity and maintainability (all components are built on top of each other, so each one is a separate useful piece of code). I want to add Semantic Desktop support, but I'm not sure Gnome already has a plan for a desktop-wide semantic database and communication/integration. Many separate tools and projects exist, but there's a lot of work to do. Maybe I should help there...
