I am using Zim and "Remember the Milk" as my task management tools. And now testing with GTG. v0.1 has few issues that make me hard to use(e.g don't open two instances , data may be lost). But seem that v0.2 will be much better. So I will keep to use this 3 tools. The focus / objective of Zim and GTG is quite different. So I also think that Zim and GTG should keep both projects focused on what they do best. However , as what Bertrand Rousseau in another email said , a constructive and collaborative use is possible through the use of plugins and such. Zim RTF text editor is really great. It is simple(save in plain text) and powerful. I recommend that it could export the API for 3rd party application use. Moreover, I have a GTD suggestion to Zim. Can it add a "Show actionable tasks only" check box in the TODO list window? A task is actionable if it don't have any sub-task , or all the subtasks are finished. It could be used to determine next actionable task easily. (p.s Subtask should inherit the priority from its parent) Any comment? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gtg-user Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gtg-user More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
