Hello everybody, I just discovered a nifty new python-gtk app that enables GTD usage: Getting Thing Gnome. http://gtg.fritalk.com/
If you try it out, you can see similarities with Zim in the structure and in the workflow. I was wondering if both projects could not benefit from each other in particular given that Zim is being rewritten in python-gtk. Both apps have (or wants to have) a plugin system to add supplementary features. GTG would benefit from Zim's wiki like text input in task description (and support for multiple cancel input for example). Or Zim could inherit a better task manager than what's currently in Zim. In any case, for now I have no perfect GTK+ application that let me handle my preferred GTD workflow: 1/ While I read mail/IRC/Web, I discover something interesting that I might want to look into (or I receive a task to do). That's the Inbox part of any GTD app, I should be able to drop a mail/URL/paste there as quickly as possible directly from within the respective application (mutt/x-chat/iceweasel). 2/ When I sort the GTD Inbox, I want to create tasks in a GTD aware application (that would be GTG) or decide that the piece of information that I have stored doesn't need any action but I want to keep it for reference in my notes (that would be Zim). 3/ When I work and check my tasks, the tasks can contain references to other material (say design notes). Thus I would want to be able to click on a link inside GTG and have Zim open up on the given page (because I like Zim to draft such documents). I hope that this message will foster some collaboration and gives you ideas on how you can reach such a level of integration. The result would be a really powerful framework to organize time/projects/information I think. For reference, I'm currently using a java app for my GTD workflow together with Zim (http://www.zim-wiki.org/) for notes. The java app is ThinkingRock (http://www.trgtd.com.au) there might be some interesting ideas to take there. I like the review screen in particular, that's what I'm using most of the time. I also use the possibility to print reports so that the piece of paper near my computer always has an overview of all the tasks that I have scheduled for the current week (and I write new tasks on it while on phone with customers, so it's also a secondary inbox).
