This week I've been working on libgtodo, by QBall (of gnomesupport fame). I converted it to GObject and broke everything I could think of: ABI, API, XML file format... But then, if you have to break something, better break it right. The API is much more straightforward, now, and better, I think. Now, libgtodo behaves like GConf: a client, which monitors an XML file, and keeps track of the task list. I plan to wrap this library with a Perl (and, later, a Python) binding. This is part of a grand master plan of creating a series of libraries for handling common operations for a PIM, such as a contact list, a daily/montly/yearly schedule and task lists. Right now, the only PIM for GNOME is Evolution; and as much as I appreciate the efforts for making it the best groupware around, a simple, lightweight, PIM is what GNOME is lacking right now, in my opinion.
