However, many/most calendar programs do have a task list that presents quite a different view from the normal calendar, and I'm sure there are people out there who like that workflow. Even the ICAL standard distinguishes between events (VEVENT) and tasks (VTODO). Right now, there's no decent way to convert an ical VTODO to anything in Remind. Although it's certainly possible to roll your own in Remind's scripting language, I think there are at least two major benefits to a built-in way of representint tasks: 1) Possibility to convert more faithfully to and from ical format. 2) Possibility for front-ends such as TkRemind and Wyrd to offer a Task view with all the conveniences users might expect (easily mark a task done, for example.) I have started implementing some ideas in the wip/todos branch in the git repo (https://salsa.debian.org/dskoll/remind/-/tree/wip/todos) but have not done very much at all. I'll wait to hear from others if they think there's any point to doing this.
