I'm looking for feedback on a script I'm writing that will export your OmniFocus database to your iPod's Notes section. (Just like I used to have for KGTD) I'm not ready for testing yet, but I'm hoping to get some info from y'all about what information you think would be useful to carry around with you. For example:
Contexts: All, active, only those with tasks?
Tasks: All, incomplete, available, next?
Projects: All, active, started? Do you even need projects on a read-only portable device?
What about the Inbox? Does that belong in your pocket?
What about metadata for each? Are start/end/due dates necessary? Notes? Repeating info?
Should hierarchy be maintained, so tasks appear with their sub-tasks, etc.? (Only relevant if you think Projects are important; a context-driven export wouldn't ever see sub-tasks)
Keep in mind that the iPod notes interface is VERY plain. Small screen, no formatting, etc. Pretty darn bare-bones. So more data can conceivably get very confusing.
Let me know what y'all think, and watch this thread if you're interested. I should have some alpha versions up for testing before too long.
