[Luca Invernizzi <invernizzi.l@xxxxxxxxx>]

As for inter-operatibility with other tasks manager, the complete (I believe) list of those, under GNOME, can be found in:
 - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/task-applications-google-linux.html
 - http://gtg.fritalk.com/post/2009/03/11/Other-tasks-managers-for-Gnome
 - and PyTasks, which is very new

It seems that very few are complex to the point of being interested in this matter. These are:
- Evolution (we sync with this)
- Tasque (we sync with this)
- PyTasks (uses a couchdb backend, but it's disabled now since they're having issues)
- Task Coach
- Chandler
About the last two, I'm not sure about the size of their user base.


Maybe we could speak to the KDE Pim guys.

Bug description:
>From http://www.mail-archive.com/gtg-contributors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00109.html :

"""
Personally, I'm dreaming of a "Personal organizer suite" with stuffs
like gtg, hamster, a calendar and tomboy (or equivalent), everything
working together. (I don't mind seeing the "gtg" brand disappearing from
user sight if needed).

Possible features:
 * tasks
 * time tracking
 * calendar
 * notes
 * contacts
 * project planning / time estimation
 * notifications
 * integrated day planner view
 * current context / next action tracking
"""

Perhaps the best way to achieve this is to work with particular sibling projects to come up with interoperability standards:

 * Commonality in date formats (i.e. respect 'soon', 'now', etc.)

 * D-BUS API design consistency

 * Standardized data structures for common data objects (tasks, notes, contacts, ...)

We can consider this particular bug report complete once we have held a session on this topic at a Linux conference that includes at least 3 other sibling projects, and come up with some action items to improve interoperability between organizer tools.
