[Bug 517481] Re: Add a reminder option

 

It's great that you're taking interest in an open source project. It's
even greater that you chose gtg ;-)

IMHO, this isn't an easy bug to solve. Currently gtg does not support
the time concept. It's not hard to add, but i'm not sure if this is in
gtg "vision" (which we are starting to lay out). We could certanly add
it as plugin, though. You'll have to ask the other developers for this.

answers:
1- the notification would be via libnotify (on your command line, something like $notify-send "ciao"). We are a GNOME project, and that is the standard
2- sure.
3- or you could dispatch the alerts to evolution-alarm-notify, which is always running. Or use the "atd" server, or "crond". All of them have advantages and cons. Personally, I would add the event into evolution via its API.

You're welcome in our irc channel  (irc.gimp.net, channel #gtg) if you
want to discuss. The channel is at times a bit quiet, but all questions
are usually answered.

Bug description:
There are times when a task needs to be started at an specific time. Things like 'cook the dinner' are usually started one hour before dinner time, therefore I think it makes sense to have an option to notify that it is time to start a given task.
