File Format for mobileGTD

[Yee Keat Phuah]

Hi,

Its interesting that palmheads based the perl script in todotxt.com. I
have previously attempted to create a mini implementation of org-mode
(http://orgmode.org/) on the s60 phone. Its because I use org-mode to
manage my tasks at work and it would have been helpful to be able to
view my stuffs on my phone.

org-mode is also quite close to todotxt.com in that it also uses only
one file, and the format is quite liberal (this mainly caused by
org-mode being written for emacs which is a text editor instead of an
editor tool).

I personally find the multiple file implementation of mobilegtd
troublesome, and the need to involve the file manager in it. But I
guess it makes implementation a whole lot easier, instead of writing a
full fledged parser.

Anyway, this is just a rant mail, glad to see that this mailing list
is getting some steam.

Cheers,
Phuah Yee Keat

Hi Phuah Yee Keat,

I am currently doing a complete rewrite of MobileGTD 

which splits the application into a model part and a persistence part.

Its written in a TDD (Test Driven Design) fashion, so it will be easy to refactor and enhance it.

Your mail sounds like you have some programming experience,

so if you dare to just check out the most recent code from the SVN trunk

and give it a shot.

I think it's definitely possible to use a one-file format like that of org-mode!

Cheers,
