2008/9/5 Stephen Dowdy <sdowdy@xxxxxxxx>:> I ran across 'basket' not too long ago and find it to be a rather> intriguing tool.  My main frustrations with it are that it's not easy> to share your baskets from home/work (i.e. the baskets are in binary> format, so you can't just see what you've loaded in them from a command> line/non-GUI environment), and that it's not exactly right for my needs as> a merged Todo/Done/Worklog tool.  (I like the Gadget add so you can put> the Todo checkbox on a line, but i'd like there to be N gadgets you can> add per element, as i'd like to have a Time spent gadget along with the> Checkoff box.  Also, it's not easy to get a view of a hierarchy in one> page (like on HTML export, each hierarchy element is a different html> page/view, so printing out the hierarchy even from HTML pages is not> tenable)>> basket is being reworked for 2.0 (http://basket.kde.org/roadmap.php)> which adds Printing (whew!), new usability interface, etc.  Some of the> question marks in that list lead me to believe that 2.0 may be FAR off,> however :-(>> That all said...
