I agree with you, Brendan. Since we, as GTG developers, don't know a
lot about Zim it's a bit difficult and early to consider collaboration
between both projects. I also think that both applications should
focus on its primary goal and utility since there's already a lot of
work to do with that. However a constructive and collaborative use is
possible through the use of plugins and such. Maybe we'll see some
kind of convergence coming in the future, and I would be very happy
with that, since I'm also convinced that there exists a strong link
between task organization and notes as previously said in this
discussion. But until then let's keep us focused on our specific
objectives.
