Should contexts be syncing with tasks?
 
Shouldn't contexts be syncing with tasks. Projects are there but they are kind of card to read in brackers. But I lose all the contexts when they sync. Am I missing a switch somewhere?

In OmniFocus' preferences, you can tell OmniFocus to send actions from a given context to a particular calendar in iCal. By mapping your contexts to different calendars, you can keep track of them that way.

(iCal requires every to-do item to belong to a calendar. Since contexts tend to stick around longer than projects, we tried to save you from having to set up the project <--> calendar relationship over and over again.)

Got it and found it. Thanks Brian. Makes sense.

What if I don't want contexts in ICal?
 
Could someone explain or give an example as to why I would need to assign contexts to a calendar when syncing with ICal. I have just a few contexts which I use across all my projects such as Home, Internet, EMail etc. If a context can be used across all projects (and calendars), why would I need to assign a context to one specific calendar?

Thanks.
