This request is based on the my increasing dependence on the MLO To-do view as my daily "hub" of next actions. It'd be great if I could easily include actions that are external to MLO into the to-do view, e.g. my Google calendar entries.
I can think of two ways to accomplish this: 1. Let users set a URL for a node, which would get populated dynamically at a pre-set interval. The URL could be an RSS or ICS feed that fetches items to display on the To-do view. This is kind of like Mindmanager's Smart Map Parts: http://onlinehelp.mindjet.com/robo/projects/mm6help/using_smart_map_parts.htm. These "special" nodes would be "ready only" (other than maybe a checkbox, and color) and the user won't be able to set other properties (e.g. contexts, effort, etc) like they can with other standard MLO nodes. 2. Let users provide a list of URLs to fetch data from for the To-do view. This will make sure that your MLO data isn't infested with "special" nodes. For this option, the user would go someplace under Tool/Options, and enter a list of URLs for MLO to dynamically populate data from when the To-do view is active. The nice thing about RSS/ICS is that they are well established formats and MLO can pick up specific things, like Due Dates, from them very eaily to be displayed in the To-do view. Cons: Because this requires MLO to collect data from external sources, this feature might introduce performance issues. Also, this feature will be available only when the user is connected to the internet.
