Hello everyone, I wanted to talk about a concept for Org-mode. For now it's just a concept, but maybe it already exist a package that do it.
The concept is called org-connector: It's a package that let you connect an Org-mode file with an external tickets or tasks manager and let you manage your tasks or tickets from Org-mode. For example, if your company use Owncloud Deck to manage tasks of the IT team: 1. Create an Org-mode file 2. At the top of the file, add `#+CONNECTOR: owncloud_deck` and `#+CONNECT_TO: https://ourcload.com/url/to/one/deck` 3. Run the interactive command `oc-sync` Then, for every task on the specified Owncloud Deck, you have now an Org entry on your file. You can edit them and run the interactive commands `oc-sync`, `oc-push` or `oc-pull` to sync, send or receive tasks. If a conflict is detected between a local task and a task on the external task manager, org-connector ask you if you want to fix it with SMERGE or EDIFF. org-connector package provide all `oc-*` functions, a few back-ends and everything needed to declare a new back-ends. Other back-ends can be provided by other packages. What do you thing ? Something like that already exist ? What kind of feature do you think is needed ? How do you think this package must be developed ? What best practice do you suggest ? Any advice or idea ? Best regards ------- Gendre Sébastien GPG ID: B586 F7C7 7239 E29E
