Hi Jérôme, I just wanted to say: thanks! for all the work you're doing on Task Coach. I appreciate it. I'd like to spend more time on discussing large and small plans for the development of Task Coach with you, but I find it hard to find the time. After my recent back problems I decided to spend a bit more time on my health and a little less time sitting still in front of the computer. I'm now rowing (on a concept 2) 10K every other day which is great, but leaves less time for hacking. On the other hand, we seem to get along quite nicely without having a lot of discussion :-)
Still, I think there are a couple of "big" issues/ideas for the coming period we should discuss: 1. More and more Linux distributions are moving to Python 2.6. That means we cannot support SyncML on those platforms. I'd like to remove support for SyncML all together to simplify the build process for Linux and simplify the code as well. I think we can rid of the "shadowing" when SyncML support is dropped. Am I right on that? 2. Remove the timeline viewer in favor of the calendar viewer. I guess we can do that as soon as the calendar viewer supports periods longer than a month? 3. Integrate tasks and notes. I'd like to make the taskviewer display notes in the same way as subtasks, as well as stand alone notes. Then we can get rid of the notes viewer. 4. I'd like to use categories for distinguishing between task states and maybe even between tasks, notes, and effort. I'm envisioning that we have readonly categories for completed tasks, inactive tasks, etc., and that when the user marks a task completed it is automatically put into the right category. By changing the appearance of the "completed tasks" category users can change the appearance of all completed tasks. This is why I worked on the configurable icons, by the way. I would also hope that categories can take over the role of templates in the long run. 5 ... More? Thanks, Frank
