Thank you
GTD
Based on ideas in todo.sh

Feedback, suggestions to task@beckingham.net




Task - a GTD utility featuring:

  - Robust C++ implementation
  - Tags
  - Colorful, tabular output
  - Reports
  - Low-level API
  - Auto-completion on all commands, options
  - Multi-user file locking
  - Clean architecture allowing quick addition of new features
  - UUID for all tasks

Task is an implementation of GTD ideas, similar to todo.sh, but without many of
the limitations in todo.sh, namely:

  - Bugs are not being fixed
  - No response or web update from ________ on code submission
  - todo.py is the todo.sh replacement, but requires a python installation - a
    significant barrier to many users, and is currently merely a
    reimplementation of todo.sh
  - project.sh is the natural progression for todo.sh, but is intended to be a
    project management solution, but is so far todo.sh with a "done" and
    "overview" command
  - There is no output formatting
  - There is no way to enumerate projects, categories
  - There is no file locking for multi-user access
  - With no API, a graphical front end must reimplement the primitives

With a robust infrastructure in place for parsing commands, file I/O and
structured output, the development threshold for adding new features is kept
low.

It is intended that features, mainly in the form of reports will be added
frequently, with best practices and useful reports evolving.

Task is scope-limited to GTD functionality only.
