There is also potentially room for code sharing. For instance, if the liblarch tree code proves to be very powerful, perhaps it could be worth consideration for inclusion in other tools which similarly manage data in node-tree structures. This could help in several ways: Makes the various tools behave more consistently; sharing dependencies reduces the 'weight' of having both tools installed at the same time; shares workload of testing and maintaining these components; etc.
As a second example of potentially sharable code, hamster has a nifty pycairo-based graphics library for rendering its timelines and such; we've talked about having similar ui elements in gtg, so having that code packaged in a sharable form could provide benefits as outlined above. -- 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
