Re: Integration between Getting Things GNOME! and Hamster-applet

[Toms <toms baugis gmail com>]

Thanks Lionel for the info and my thanks to Kevin for the work - most cool!

One idea - how about stopping to track an activity when the task with
appropriate tag has been marked as done?
There are some tricky borders to cross when it is about mapping terms
of one app to the other, but I bet

Our bugzilla naturally is open and we will try best to help if there
is anything that has to be done.
One thing that also comes to my mind is, that we have slight
integration with evolution by offering in the activity drop down list
all the TODO's from EDS.
Having two plugins for tasks on both sides would be a bit of an
overkill so we could just do feature quering, and if there is GTG to
talk to, then we could do the same as for EDS.

Certainly a good integration is in scale of a little project of it's
own, but integration is also the key word to killer applications.
So, hum, let's see - maybe for 2.30 we can do something about it!

Opened bug on hamster side:
