[Ayatana] Tasque, Giver

[Frederik Nnaji <frederik.nnaji@xxxxxxxxx>]

good morning list, good night myself..

..just came across Tasque again!
and yes, obviously it appeares worth sharing with the ML:
visit: http://live.gnome.org/Tasque
see: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3324975082418734422

Tasque already supports these backends:
*Evolution Data Server aka EDS
*Remember The Milk (cloud)
*its own local storage
*ICEcore

we should seriously think of using it with Ubuntu One.
i personally would like to see my upcoming to-do's from google also.
my phone already has the best google calendar integration, so that
would be a way to go definitely!

Clock 2.30.0 shows me tasks that i entered in Evolution's task manager.
We should include Tasque for tasks in System > Preferences >
"Preferred Applications"
Then we should honor that in "Clock" for now;
loading the 5-headed beast Evolution takes ~13 sec on my netbook.
Tasque is up in 2 sec.

honestly, same goes for sending files to the person next to me: why
email a task or calendar event, if i can just drop it on my
neighbouring desktop!?
that's why they came up with Giver, which transfers taskques and files
within the "Avahi discoverable" zone around us. Drag and drop.

All that is missing, is to enable this for the jabberers in Contact
List (Empathy), we're good to go!
Share files, tasks and calendar entries within a handful of seconds
via drag&drop ;)

unfortunately, just like xfce's excellent "Notes", Tasque resides in
the Notification Area, but one could tweak that easily i believe.
This sort of opportunity here is what somebody called "low hanging fruit" ;)
