Specific types of tools or functionality worth including in such a suite include:
* tasks * time tracking * calendar * notes * contacts * project planning / time estimation * notifications * integrated day planner view * current context / next action tracking Note that we don't necessarily need separate tools for each of these. It may be that one tool could cover several of the needs. Also, several organization tools support plugins and some of these features might be best achieved that way. There is kind of a trade-off between an "all- in-one" organizer that you learn once and has tons of features, and a federated collection of tools, each of which focuses on one particular tasks and remains lean and mean. -- Personal (teamwork?) organizer suite / interoperability standards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614523 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gtg contributors, which is subscribed to Getting Things GNOME!. Status in Getting Things GNOME!: New Bug description: >From >http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00109.html >: """ Personally, I'm dreaming of a "Personal organizer suite" with stuffs like gtg, hamster, a calendar and tomboy (or equivalent), everything working together. (I don't mind seeing the "gtg" brand disappearing from user sight if needed). """ Perhaps the best way to achieve this is to work with particular sibling projects to come up with interoperability standards: * Commonality in date formats (i.e. respect 'soon', 'now', etc.) * D-BUS API design consistency * Standardized data structures for common data objects (tasks, notes, contacts, ...) We can consider this particular bug report complete once we have held a session on this topic at a Linux conference that includes at least 3 other sibling projects, and come up with some action items to improve interoperability between organizer tools. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gtg Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gtg More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
