There are all kinds of problems with this analogy. It assumes that
the quality of a project is unknowable at the outset so mutations are
in fact random. This might actually be reasonable. Groovy apparently
looked for quite a while like a good project and has recently started
sucking.

Indeed. Alas, you're one of the rare ones who are both tough enough to
deal with that crap and still be a nice guy.
And you missed my humorous poke at you on that one :)

I need a task and calendaring program that:
1) Will synch to a central file (preferably via ssh to my server, but
if I have to manually copy a few files up and down it is OK as I can just
write a script to get the latest copy on machine start up and upload changes
on shut down)
2) C
Sunbird client and an ApacheServer running webDAV to store the info
might work.

Sigh, I have not used Outlook in a while, as I am now regularly moving between
three OS's, But if I recall correctly it was either a Franklin Covey or a

With regard to sub tasks, I would think you could use a XML formatted file for
