Don't worry it wont:) I have set up a repo for my Python version at
git://github.com/geekinthesticks/org-reqall.git . It doesn't have
anything
in it at the moment, because I stupidly put my own reqall rss url
in one of
the versions for testing purposes, so its in the version history.
I also have been hacking on Ian's python script - I hope you don't
mind!
I changed it to support Ta-da lists (tadalist.com) rather than reqall.
In my opinion, ta-da list is a much simpler and has a nice clean
interface. It has the disadvantage that it doesn't have an
accompanying iPhone/Touch app that works offline, although it does
have a beautiful ipod-optimized web interface. And it doesn't support
bling such as voice memos, but then reqall doesn't support voice memos
on the Touch either, even if you have an external mic :(
Anyway, I am attaching it (sync-tadalist.py) in case anyone finds it
useful. In particular, it has a few changes that Ian might want to
fold back into his version. For instance, it solves the private URL
problem by reading it from an external dot file. Also, the original
was repeatedly parsing the org file inside the loop over feed entries.
This is unnecessary, so I have moved it outside.
I guess that ideally we want a webservice that
1. Allows adding tasks etc via a mobile device, preferably with
offline capabilities and syncing
2. Exports RSS feeds of tasks so that org-mode can grab them
3. Exports an API that would let org-mode write information back to
the service, e.g., marking a task as done
Does anyone know of a service that supports all 3?
