I've been tempted to create a frontend web site devoted toward very simple
operations in regard to using org-mode - something say in Django or
something, and using sync scripts to the org files.The idea I was thinking
is just a simple CRUD operation with that file (either that or use a sql
database such as sqllite and use a cron job that "syncs" these together).  I
wouldn't mind still completing that if people are interested in such a
tool.  Since I have just an ipod touch, I've been reluctant to build it
since I don't have access 100% of the time to the app.
