The initial implementation of iCalendar support doesn't set a priority on any of the tasks. Currently, the list of task items in the feeditems array does not have any priority attribute. The feeditems array is built from $uddd.dmd_todos $uddd.dmd_todos is built in inc/dmd-data.rb When the dmd_todos array is built, each item needs to be classified with one or more attributes that will be the UDD priority for the todo The cal.rb code will then need to read these UDD priority values and translate them to the very simple priority values used in iCalendar, e.g. 0=undefined, 1=High, 5=Normal, 9=Low https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#section-4.8.1.9 A CUA with a three-level priority scheme of "HIGH", "MEDIUM" and "LOW" is mapped into this property such that a property value in the range of one (US-ASCII decimal 49) to four (US-ASCII decimal 52) specifies "HIGH" priority. A value of five (US-ASCII decimal 53) is the normal or "MEDIUM" priority. A value in the range of six (US- ASCII decimal 54) to nine (US-ASCII decimal 58) is "LOW" priority. This type of prioritization is very simplistic and coarse. Internally, UDD can probably use more sophisticated set of attributes and each output format would then have its own way to map these to its own prioritization scheme. For example, while iCalendar sets the priority attribute, HTML may simply render more important items by putting them in bold. Some tasks should also have a deadline in the iCalendar feed: - next testing freeze - fix a package to avoid auto-removal from testing - replacing a PGP key that is expiring in the keyring and these deadlines may be useful to help compute the iCalendar priority although an ideal iCalendar client would provide a way to visualize the difference between tasks with and without deadlines anyway. The dmd_todos may need to have an optional deadline attribute that will be set for those tasks where it is relevant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
