Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'm presenting OneModel in the wrong way. Its vision is much bigger than task management, but I'm not sure how to best make that clear to the right audience. *The vision is this: mankind's knowledge is not well-organized as a whole. I want to see us to fix that, so I have created a plan* which has seemed worth trying, that goes something like this: 1) Create a simple tool for a knowledge base, that uses the necessary principles of organizing atomic *knowledge as an object model* (not mere todos, or predefined anything, or even very-efficient piles of text), and use it as my own organizer [DONE FOR NOW] 2) Pitch it as a GTD thing, since it can also do that, to the kind of people who use org-mode (or taskwarrior), to get some traction and build a community [JUST INITIATING THIS, THOUGH OTHER PRODUCTS ARE MORE MATURE FOR THIS NARROW PART OF THE WHOLE PURPOSE.] 3) Take it to the next levels of broad computable knowledge-related collaboration which include: 3a) cloud support 3b) allow easily attaching code to classes of these structured entities (or nodes in the graph) for computation and custom extensions of the base product: adds very powerful capabilities. I can largely see the code & implementation for this, just need time/bandwidth (money). 3c) sharing OM data (or knowledge) including custom code across instances: letting one OM instance subscribe to changes, link to, or copy things from another model. Making it so easy that people start sharing data between their instances (sort of like gopher + evernote + wikipedia, only computable & more powerful & flexible, and Free, under individual or group control). This requires some work that also seems very exciting to do. Remember these are models of knowledge, like wiki content in a *computable* graph database, but without the limitations of using human language as the primary structure for data on which to do computation. This will take work and time. So to fund dev time on it there's the possibility of selling binaries, or re-sell amazon db storage facilities, or other Free-software business models as discussed elsewhere. But this works most easily if it can be compelling enough in its current form, to build a community of devs and/or users around the Free code and compete with existing tools that have many devs and time in them already. I think OM could be great for some users, but... Hmmmm. 4) Other work like user friendliness for non-nerds, mobile, make it known to a much wider audience, etc. So a current hurdle seems to be to build a community or validation base, for the vision, who can use the current feature set, while the hopefully more broadly impactful stuff gets developed. Thanks again for your earlier comment! The invitation for feedback, suggestions, or to read more about OM & its vision (like what I mean by "computable"), try it out, & participate on http://onemodel.org site mailing lists also remains. :) Best regards, Luke
