All, I am about to do a radical overhaul of XToDo, which has not been actively developed in nearly two years. Julian Kamil was the previous developer. I plan on taking a diverging move and wanted to solicit stakeholder requests (features). This change is to scratch my own itch, but if a few others can be scratched, more the better. I know various users over the months have had problems with XToDo.
The hugest change will be to not use wiki pages to hold XToDo metadata. Instead, I will be creating a JSON object stored in a directory (e.g. $FarmD/xtodo.d). Presently, when one attempts to view an XToDo object by viewing its wiki metadata page, one is greeted with blank silence. JSON has the advantage of being a universal standard, which allows the todos to be observed by any tool. An added advantage is being able to offer the data as a web service (JSON instead of XML). However, the user interface will integrate with PmWiki. There may also be some GTD behavior, as I am a fan (though not pure devote). I will likely take a hiatus from my own Python project to focus on this and anticipate something in the ensuing week. -- Ben Wilson "Words are the only thing which will last forever" Churchill _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
