Collaborative Getting Things GNOME!

Collaborative Getting Things GNOME!

GTG provides great user experience for individuals. I would like to implement sharing tasks between users. GNOME will become the first desktop with built-in task sharing. This would made it the desktop of choice for small to medium businesses.

Known Issues

I would like to fix following issues in the following weeks:

• a GTG plugin for telepathy-gabble for PubSub
• test Collaborative GTG on various servers
• handle adding/removing people in the contact list, adding to/removing from project without restarting GTG
• figure out, why SleekXMPP takes so much time to shut down
• clean the code
