I think it is a really good idea to try this out.
At first I was collecting ideas in my regular taskwarrior repository --
this was no good as every task list was flooded by somedays and maybes
which would never leave. But I still wanted to have a nice repository to
collect all my ideas in.
So, the second strategy was to have one big (markdown) file which would
simply collect all my ideas. But now I was doubling and tripling them up
because the list was so long, and it was more of a chore to find where
to put everything than just a quick 'idea add'.
This may be the best of both worlds: making use of the nice interface to
a task database using the full strength of taskwarrior querying, without
cluttering up my main task repository.
The workflow is exactly as with regular taskwarrior, only the executable
is not called `task` (or `t` in my case) but `idea`. So you e.g. add an
idea with `idea add`, or query all diy ideas with `idea +diy`.
Just like regular taskwarrior.
In preparation for integrating bugwarrior into these dotfiles I am
changing the taskwarrior include options to absolute paths (though still
retaining the `~` home shortcut).
This seems necessary as bugwarrior, both in its current 1.8.0 and its
git HEAD version, just absolutely refuses to run when the includes are
relative to the taskrc file. A little sad but not too bad overall since
the taskrc in these dotfiles will always live in the XDG_CONFIG_HOME
directory anyway.
Added settings for bugwarrior to import gitbug repository issues as
tasks into taskwarrior. This is still very experimental and I have to
continue hacking on it to arrive somewhere that is useful for me.
Fixed taskopen script not opening the correct numbered task
when passed one (either on the command line with `to <id>`
or through taskwarrior with `t <id> open`).
Now it does directly open the correct note.
Since I am striving for closer connection between my task management, my
mail suite and my calendar appointments, it makes sense to unify all
'office' tasks into the single office module instead of keeping
taskwarrior outside of it.
