Hi Steve, The present implementation is already somewhat divided between a view (TaskView) and a controller (TaskEditor), the text model being also mostly burried in the TaskView widget. However, I the clear identification of who's doing what is not clear in this implementation. Moreover, we don't have a clean "task" model (Title, tags, subtask list, etc.) , we merely try to force a specific text structure in the generic text model, which lead to a poor API.
So, I guess if you can manage a clean MVC architecture with a nice task model and API, it would be great! On a side note: it would be also interesting to think the editor as a standalone component, that would communicate with GTG through DBUS, but this can be quite a lot of work to make it work, so feel free to ignore. I just mention it for the record.
