Exporting your tasks to the calendar is a mixed blessing, I've written a tool that does it (ofexport) and Rob Trew I think has a more friendly and interactive AppleScript.

The problem is how to map your tasks into the calendar. A naive approach is to use the start/due dates from OF but the results look bad and it's easy scatter a bazillion trivial entries all over your calendar and make it utterly unusable.

A task that starts on Monday at 9am and is due on Friday at 6pm would essentially colour in your entire week. If you have several of those your calendar becomes pretty nasty.

There are ways to deal with that but I'm still wrestling with what the right approach is. The best I've managed to come up with is a bit of a compromise.
