I have slightly revised my objectives of this task management project.  At first, it was just a simple way of making applications interchange task data.  While this is an objective still ultimately, I’ve determined that a more interesting route and problem to solve is an idea of an “Ubiquitous Task Environment”, that is, a way of introducing plugins to existing applications that have task-related information (Tasks from a GANT chart, e-mail applications, mind maps, existing todo lists, etc.) as a way of consolidating information about tasks in one place.  This naturally dovetails into writing applications but I think this is an interesting idea and I’m going to run with it for a while.  I think in the next couple weeks I’m going to work on designs for a data store, and maybe a list of plugins to work on.  (This gives me the added benefit of learning some of the plugin environments out there.)
