We are happy to announce you the release of Getting Things GNOME! 0.1.2 "Usually it's just cardboard walls in a garage" (and christmas treelights). This is mainly a bug fix release and it also updates a bunch of translation (because our translators are awesome).
Luca has just joined the gtg-dev core team as the official packager. He's packaging GTG for Debian, Ubuntu and our PPA. Thanks a lot Luca !
Bertrand and I didn't had the time to work as much as we want on GTG lately. But the future of GTG is really bright because our community already rocks ! A lot of you are hacking on GTG and doing a lot of nice stuffs. We cannot track everything so we ask you : please request merge of your branch as soon as possible. If your branch is rotten, delete it. Also, if you are working on a feature, create and assign a bug to yourself so we know what you are doing. Also post on the list with your progress reports and asking for testing. And if you don't have any reply, insist.
The Google SoC is going nicely with Paulo currently implementing a plugin infrastructure for GTG. Rock-n-roll !

Great! I've just installed it from PPA. I'm really looking forward to see a balanced todo manager for gnome, something that implements the efficiency of RememberTheMilk but it's offline, and it's not some overcomplicated thing like TaskCoach.
Have a nice day coding!
GaborI tried other todo managers for linux, and they are all right... but I couldn't stick with them.
Finally a to-do list manager I actually like using! It's so neat and flexible like Tomboy, I feel I want to add more tasks just for the sake of using it. I'm looking forward to see the Hamster plugin in 0.2, it's a great idea!
really like:
## everything is saved instantly, user doesn't lose data at powercuts or crashes
## the flexibility of text and tasks, tags: no pre-defined structure, Tomboy style type-it-where-you-want-it
## uncomplicated, a few flexible features are more than many but rigid ones (see Task Coach)
## quick add is quick and neat! instructions for adding the tags and attributes would be good in the Getting Started... tasks as well
really miss:
## tray icon, and hotkeys to pop-up a task list, work view, and a quick-add task entry window
## undo/redo for text-changes in the notes
## option to show tasks with parent task hiearchy in work view (or some other way to indicate where a task belongs to), and hotkey or button to show/hide all subtasks, so you can quickly get a bird's eye view of ongoing projects
## more optimalization for keyboard-only use, for speed and efficiency - having to stop typing to grab the mouse and click sth is lost time and distracted attention (such as hotkey to focus on quick-add input field, and customizable hotkey definitions to any menu/icon action, so that the actions don't need clicks, and the user can eliminate hotkey conflicts with other apps)
## automatic bullet creation if user begins the line with '*' , with indenting
GaborGreat work.
I'm looking forward to see some Gnome integration.
Thanks
cristiGTG has promise, but the rough edges need smoothing. I've only used it for 10mins so far, but I'm really struggling to get my (sub) tasks in the order I want. The ordering appears random, even after hacking around a bit on it.
SzemereGreat attempt. Long way to go, but we both know that :-)
When I used another operating system, I used the GTD addin for LookOut and miss it in Evolution in Ubuntu. (As an aside, looking forward to Thunderbird 3).
Keep up the good work.
