Extensions repository: Minutes 2 Tasks 0.5

The goal for this extension was to have an easy way during meetings to create tasks in a to-do list and manage them afterwards. It presumes that you make minutes and would like to generate a task list during meetings with ease and manage ... [More] them.
When there is a task that has to be done by you, you activate the macro (through a keystroke or by using the menu). A window box than comes up, where you can fill in the subject of the task, the due dat and some other details. The macro also records in the background the filename if you were making minutes at the moment, the current date and a paragraph selected with text (hopefully related to that action). If no text is selected, no text is recorded.
Afterwards you can call back a report, from a database called TakenDB.odb. It gives all the unfinished tasks, sorted on priority. That database also contains other useful reports, which you can use if you open the database with Open Office Base. The database also contains a form where you can browse through all the tasks and make changes.

Remarks:

First download the zip file at www.vermail.nl/Minutes2tasks/ and the Readme first.pdf which tells you how to install and to use this extension
As I am inexperienced it takes some handwork to install that. I am sorry for that. If some is able to improve, be my guest and create another extension
I've used a lot of code of Dmitri Popov's Writer's Tool. They are great. Thanks. Don't expect that level of polish from this installing process...
This extension calculates the priority of each task. The priority gets calculated, where importance of a task counts 3 times harder than it's urgency (number of days too late):
Priority = Dayslate + (Importance * 3)
Resulting negative values means there is enough time left. The more negative the less hurry to do the task. The tasks with the highest positive number should have the highest priority. Using formula actually works for me quite well!

This extension should work for Windows and Linux (x86 and x86-64). I wouldn't know if it works for OSX, but I guess it should be possible. [Less]

Michael Meeks: 2009-11-19: Thursday.


An ineffectual day flailing at too many varied tasks. Managed
to do a little real hacking - which was fun - a one line change; hmm.

Got stuck into reading the Chromium
code, sad to see an Ubuntu base, but good to see lots ... [More] of interesting
technologies in there: atk, pango, gtk+, clutter, gnome bits - even orbit2.
It actually looks like something real, and I'm eager to see what efficiency
wins and new tricks those Googlers manage to generate for the common good. [Less]
