What is it

Just TODO It is a lightweight TODO-list manager written using ruby, libglade and yaml.

Just TODO It’s aim is to marry the two seemingly contradictory goals. Firstly

• Make it very easy to just pick-up-and-use: start the program, type some tasks, tick some off, no need to learn any other concepts

We’re already there on this one. You can do just that. You don’t even need to worry about saving and loading tasks lists, categorising tasks, or anything like that. Secondly:

• Allow the user to brain-dump a whole boatload of tasks into it
• Only show the user the “next tasks”

This is what I’m working on now. I want to be able to rely on Just TODO It for my task list, which in reality, is large, but I’m only interested in what the next tasks are: i.e., the next task for each project which tasks are grouped into.

Getting it

“Stable”

The stable version meets criteria #1 above, but not the advanced stuff.

• Grab a tarball here (updated nightly)
• Grab the source the darcs repository, via darcs, or by hand

I also maintain a debian package for this. There is a separate repo for the debian-specific patches.

Advanced stuff

The advanced branch (where I’m working on the “next task” and project stuff) is available here.
