Hi Luca,

Nice to have someone contributing to this part. you're more than
welcome to work on this. Having multiple backend for synchronization
with online service is one of the goal of the next version of GTG.

Unfortunately, I have no clear ideas about that. In the near future,
tasks will be identified by their name (much like a wiki). Maybe
adopting a low-complexity text syntax that identifies text strings
that must be interpreted as links could help here. You could convert
GTG task and their links to a text-only syntax in RTM. Since I'm no
RTM user, I don't know if it is possible.

using XDG folders is a perfectly correct solution. However, you should
use .config folder only for configuration information. If you have to
store data, you'd better use the .local/share/gtg folder.

Thanks for the kind words :-)
