Anyway, here is my entry, just to prove that N is 8 (at least for now),
and also to show that perl can function as a write-only language.

:-) Prety good, but it does have a minor flaw, the line with several
tags is emitted as
** TODO Task 2 :@work: :@boss:
But I am sure this can be fixes within the N=9 envelope.

Haha, it's Friday afternoon and I decided to take the challenge. I
implemented a very simplistic and stupid translator which is quite small
but just barely manages to pass the test. It does so with 480 bytes
which makes for N = 9 (

I'd prefer my mum not to use or send me todo-lists!
Even with a Org syntax.

What would it be useful for? Using both TaskPaper and org-mode? I

No. Like

To be honest when i first read it i thought it was a good idea. I saw
it as an extension of your splitting the big org file into the smaller
include files in the git repo.
