You're half right !
When someone needs some tool to get things done it's either ok or move
to the next one. Doing just TODO lists is fine but incomplete for the
bigger picture. I use emacs to code so org-mode is fine cause it right
there and I don't have to start some other agenda app.
Hmmm this idea just hit me : How about using ICS files ?
I am not too familiar with them but I think they pretty much do what I
need !?

What can a simple TAG do ? If the other people don't use ORG. Each user
should only see his tasks.

You still need a "place" to store them and a way to upload.

I am not sure, I just use C-c a a :D

I am not sure either. But I do need one :D
